We were also allocated a single table instead of the usual two we get
to make room for more projects. See it this way: the ones you call
bigger projects usually have the means to hold at least one yearly
conference on their own. The smaller ones don't get to meet that
often. Also they really need the exposure FOSDEM provides them, and as
you say the bigger projects are already popular. If the Guile people
don't have a talk at FOSDEM, where would they have it?
