[18:51:31] <magespawn> tumbleweed: how big is the conference in attendance?
[18:51:37] * Kilos greets our globe trotter
[18:51:45] <tumbleweed> magespawn: we're estimating 250 people
[18:51:48] <tumbleweed> magespawn: not huge
[18:51:56] <tumbleweed> last year was over 500 - record size
[18:52:18] <chesedo> tumbleweed: is the conf very technical in nature?
[18:52:24] <magespawn> still fairly big
[18:52:34] <superfly> magespawn: Typically it's 350 people, I think we're expecting a little less than that, but tumbleweed will have a better estimate.
[18:52:57] <tumbleweed> chesedo: yes, pretty technical, but also very social
[18:53:01] <tumbleweed> people bring their whole families
[18:53:13] <tumbleweed> but they're there to get work done
[18:53:17] <tumbleweed> (and have fun)
[18:54:55] <tumbleweed> chesedo: have a look at previous years' programmes
[18:55:09] <tumbleweed> e.g. https://summit.debconf.org/debconf15/

[18:55:17] <tumbleweed> https://summit.debconf.org/debconf14/

[18:57:38] <tumbleweed> we are also starting to need some help, in preparation
[18:58:08] <tumbleweed> and we will need some help, when it's under way

[18:58:55] <tumbleweed> one thing that comes to mind, is that we could use someone to try and find video equipment for hire (we have very specific needs, so it probably means quite a bit of time on the phone)
