Hey folks, the rooms are fine and the talks are being streamed, and recorded for later.  There is always going to be a room that is more packed than another it just happens.  There has to be a limit at some point.  

I will say, it would be a lot of help to get people to move in on seats that are sitting on the outside, or 3 seats in and then leaving an entire row unoccupied. I saw that a lot this morning in James talk to be honest.  People could have sat down if others had moved in off the side of rows!

So did several other speakers (probably?).

Honestly: this is a problem we can't fix.  We try to schedule "popular presentations"
in appropriately large rooms, but on some level, all presentations are popular.  It's
impossible to please everybody.  Scheduling 22 rooms in parallel is Really Difficult.

We are (trying to?) record everything this year.  Apart from the fact that that's just
a really cool thing to do, we also hoped that that would spread the load factor of the
rooms a bit.  To be evaluated, etc.

Be positive, be open minded.  If a room is full ... there are others?  You can watch
the recording at home.
