I'm thinking we're more likely to have 50 or under, though good to have extra capacity.

</div>I'm not sure how we would go about this? Maybe just look at similar workshops in other places and see what the turnout might be. Or, just pick a venue to get a capacity and use the "if we build it, they will come" approach. I would think that if we do a good job of getting the word out, people who are somewhat local could be convinced to come out for a day -- people who wouldn't otherwise come to a PerlMongers meeting. Those aren't the sort of people we'd be able to get a head count from at this point.<br>
