GNOME does get more room than most projects in the sense that the desktops devroom is in a 100+ room (and there are only a few such rooms). Many projects do get rooms with far less seats. > I didn't want to say bad of any projects in particular here but I feel > I have to give an example, to make my point so I'll mention one that I > actually love: Guile.

It's their first time at FOSDEM, so it's nice that they get a devroom :) I expect they'll get a small room. A 40 seats devroom would probably not very useful to GNOME. I expect it's the same for most smaller projects, the devrooms they get would be too small for us. I did not look who got 100+ rooms last year, but I'd expect they all are fairly popular projects (Mozilla, virtualization, maybe embedded, ...) Christophe
