OK, by reading your detailed explanation I now imagine that the room shortage is so severe that they cannot afford more than one devroom for all participating distros. If that is the case, obviously this is the only viable solution. I was imagining / hoping that a less consistent reduction in distro-related devrooms was enough, according to that I was seeing my proposal as "more reasonable" in the sense that it required less room, but still not as few as one single room. If there is room for one more room (pun not intended), I believe that all distros would benefit from having a time-share of the extra room to be handled with a distro-specific schedule. If there is not, obviously we will cope with that. Cheers. PS nevertheless, thanks to all people involved in the FOSDEM organization (including Wouter for the Debian side), as always they do an impressive job to make us have fun together! -- Stefano Zacchiroli -o- PhD in Computer Science \ PostDoc @ Univ.
