I would also like to say that I am worried about the amount of talks we
would need to reject, plus the lack of slots for organic meetings/talks
that are an integral part of DebConf.
After a few years of not having enough talks to select from (and then
having a conference packed with talks and events, because people start
having great ideas on the spot), this year we face the situation where
we have a smaller amount of talk slots and more talk submissions than usual.
I think we need to somehow expand the number of slots for scheduled
talks, while leaving time and space for ad-hoc talks..

I don't know what is the best solution, specially taking into account
that the DC14 team wants a different flavour of DebConf for this year.
But all these sound sensible to me.
I would also propose either adding a room (is that even possible at this
time?), and/or pushing dinner 1:30 h later, to accomodate for one more
talks slot per day. But again, I don't know if this is possible.
OTOH, I am not too sure of the idea of putting talks after dinner, I
think people may want to unwind after that.
