greets our globe trotter
[18:51:45]
<tumbleweed>
magespawn: we're estimating 250 people
[18:51:48]
<tumbleweed>
magespawn: not huge
[18:51:56]
<tumbleweed>
last year was over 500 - record size
[18:52:18]
<chesedo>
tumbleweed: is the conf very technical in nature?
[18:52:24]
<magespawn>
still fairly big
[18:52:34]
<superfly>
magespawn: Typically it's 350 people, I think we're expecting a little less than that, but tumbleweed will have a better estimate.
[18:52:57]
<tumbleweed>
chesedo: yes, pretty technical, but also very social
[18:53:01]
<tumbleweed>
people bring their whole families
[18:53:13]
<tumbleweed>
but they're there to get work done
[18:53:17]
<tumbleweed>
(and have fun)
[18:54:55]
