Indeed!  Clearly I didn't really expect this big of a response this year.

As we approach 50 people, does it makes sense to be able to break the event down into 2 "tracks", and have 2 meeting spaces available? I know a number of the folks on the attendee list are Gerrit Code Review / Android sorts of shops and will want to discuss topics related to that that aren't necessarily relevant to the GitHub users / Linux kernel hacking folks that are also on the list. Being able to break off some of those discussions might make the event more interesting for everyone involved.
