Subject: RubyConf: Standard conference tactic.

The organizers may already know about this, but
I'll pass it along just in case...

I heard once that when you sign up for space at
a hotel, you can adjust the size of the room up
or down depending on the number of registrations
you get.

They have all those folding partitions they use
to make rooms larger or smaller, you wind up
getting charged for the space you actually use.

There is probably some lead time to take in
account (a week? two?). But it's one to go to
prevent having to "plan small" to be safe...
