There are three points which should be taken into account when estimating the number of attendees for the upcoming GUADEC:

  • the number of attendees in the previous couple of years, and the trend
  • the local FLOSS and student community in the city
  • ease of national and international transport to the location
  • the FLOSS community in the country
