The FOSDEM organizers asked us to merge the devrooms for a reason. We already only have this shared devroom only for a day.Yeah I understand that but I'm wondering if they could be persuaded not to treat all applying projects equally and give more room and time to projects that are more popular/bigger.
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. Given that there is a handful of people who use Guile (or even Scheme in general), I really don't see why it should be given the same amount of room/time as GNOME and KDE.
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
