<p>Hi all, <br>
</p>
<p> After reading the 2025 call-for-venue [1] AND the manifesto [2]
I notice some different expectations regarding the size of the
event.<br>
The manifesto states "FOSS4G-Europe should rather be small than
big", <br>
whereas the call-for-venue asks "how to accommodate 500+
participants"and "expect 400-500 attendees". (but then again, also
states "we prefer modest costs for attendees")<br>
</p>
<p>Often there's a "tipping point" around 400 attendees, where the
rules of "economy of scale" (larger = cheaper per attendee) don't
apply anymore, <br>
but instead things get more expensive per attendee. <br></p></div></blockquote><div>I also would suggest to change <br></div><div>- How can you accommodate 500+ participants --> How can you accommodate 400+ participants</div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex"><div><p>
