The “small-devroom” problem cannot be avoided. FOSDEM is known for it famously, and the [canonical FOSDEM experience is](https://tatooine.club/@quixoticgeek@v.st/113922791854983646):

> Print out a sheet of paper with “This room is full” on it, stick it on your front door. Then sit outside in the hallway on the floor, and livestream the talks on your laptop.
> 
> It’s just like the real thing, [just with less plagues](https://tatooine.club/@fluconf@social.cryptography.dog/113928473433162955).

We will still have the 2-3 tracks in parallel, so hopefully only the really interested folks will get to the devrooms, but it would be nice if we can setup a livestream display just outside the devrooms, to help viewers in case of spills.

Aside on unconferences: one of my favorite memories is attending and helping organize [hillhacks](https://hillhacks.in/). We definitely need more unconferences! Maybe there’s space for some organizers to come together to host an unconference in the same week as indiafoss!
