Getting DebConf to take 5 days (which is longer than OLS incidentally)
depends on having 5 days worth of talks. That may be difficult. OLS
accepted 60 talks and according to rumour declined about the same number,
wheras the total number offered for DebConf is rumoured to be <30.
What I wouldn't mind seeing is 2 or 3 days either before or after the
next one that lack talks and are just there for ad-hoc discussion and
face time and hacking. It was nice to have the talks but I really went
for the other 3 items. Call it 'debcamp' or something. Extra
organizational overhead should be near-zero; the people who stay on for
debcamp just use the same facilities as does the conference.
