Yes, we and some locals have talked about this in IRC, but we should have given
you a clear answer in that thread, as you've clearly asked for. Sorry, I'll try
to give some answers now:
(from http://lists.debconf.org/lurker/message/20130610.085553.4a441921.en.html)
- Are the capacity estimates sane wrt the room sizes?
A 200m2 should be ok for 222 people in a school room equipped with 18 inch
desks. In a theater seats style it would fit ~300 people, as Le Camp has
stated. So, given the expected number of attendees it's enough to have a 200m2
room plus a 150m2 room for talks. I've got measures from $weird_websites, but
they give more or less the same result. (eg.
http://www.csgnetwork.com/grouproommeetcalc.html).
- How many talk rooms and "official" hacklabs to we need? Are 2 talk
rooms enough, or should we plan with 3 talk rooms?
We've already reached almost 100% of availability considering that two rooms
will be provided. So a third one would be great to offer for informal / last
minute meetings.

Video team uses to cover two rooms. For DC13 we have some extra-team people
offering their help and equipment which could cover a third room, but afaik we
can't assure now that it'll happen. So, lets assume two rooms with video
coverage + a third room (if possible) with no video.
