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.
