I do agree with that line of thought. > For the rooms in the "Medium sleeping-bag" category I propose to leave > an equal amount of beds empty as far as possible but to eventually fill > them if needed. This has one kinda-unrelated implication: as we'll probably use all rooms of that category in any case (even with 1 person per room), that means we'll have to clean all of them at the end of DebConf. That's of course mitigated if the rooms are filled. > For all smaller rooms IMO it's acceptable to fill them to their full > capacity. These are our best rooms and I don't want to "waste" any beds > in them. I agree. As I expressed in the IRC meeting: I really think (and I have seen the rooms/beds) that being the 8th in an 8-beds room is way more confortable than being the 16th in a 16-beds room: for privacy, for available private space, for noise, etc. The ideal comfort is provided by having have all rooms half-filled, but if we want to have as many DebConf attendees as possible, I think it's a better plan to try filling the "good beds" before the "bad beds", and mitigate the "perceived very crappy beds" by making those more acceptable. > (…) With this proposal we still have 79 beds in rooms > with 4 or less attendees.
