Not that I'd expect this, in any case.
I'd like to have OpenSpace too, and if the budget comes out balanced we will rent some extra space for this. The nice thing is that it can be decided fairly late in the process. Michael does not need to worry. Lightning talks should go in the biggest room, with only Zope Lightning talks to compete, according to my point of view. Lightning talks lose much of their value if the audience is small. The whole point is to spread many small ideas to lots of people.
