Sorry for my delayed reply. I took a much needed "weekend" in the middle of the week on Wed-Thursday. 

Here's the thing: If we only have space for 40 people, we'll bring in 40 people and be happy. If we have room for more, we'll certainly do our best to fill up the space we're given and make it an awesome experience for everyone there. 

I've filled out the space request on the Omni Commons site as directed. I haven't seen any response back from there yet, but I'm guessing that takes time.
