I doubt it, and anyway finding a 200 pp conference is too much for us.

You are continuing the "what if" game.

We cannot engineering all possibilities, and we are Debian / DebConf, so
no committee. but doers! If you want to continue with your idea, go
asking informally people, give us something like:
- the OpenCowGroup: a group of 12 people and 2 cows would like to share
the campus with us (including 2 cabal members), for 4 days during
DebCamp. They will provide us the famous cabal milk for free.
- Piraten, openstreetmap, xorg, unglypackage, ...

There are much different possibilities (and IMHO few chances to get
them), so speaking with details is not useful.

So we want informal talks.

I still think that panic talked. So, I still don't think we will have
the campus full. IMHO many people will search outside Le Camp.

Personally I like the idea, and it could help eventually smaller debconf
in future.
