True. However at FrOSCon and FOSDEM there were dev rooms
specifically for talks about one project (e.g. PHP room, KDE room),
so with a dedicated Arch room for talks this can be just fine
(and we get extra visitors from the main conference :-P).

Very true.

actually it's froscon's team slowness that was the main problem
