That's fine. In itself it is ok if we have a lot of people, but the booth-size often is sized to only a limited number. Too many people at the booth makes the booth more chaotic and doesn't lead to a better service.
This is a question of organization. It depends on the booth size you promoted to the event operators. I thing a single table is good for 2-3 people. For 3-5 people we are in need of a second table (where we could also place a second PC with TFT for presentation of Compiz or something else)
Tough luck asking for this at T-DOSE. It all depends on the conference you are at. I don't think we really need a bigger booth, we just need to manage it better (ie. people that are just sitting there and doing nothing are not at all useful). And I don't think we ever needed 5 people at a booth because of questions.
For a conference like LinuxTag a bigger booth is possible, but for something like T-DOSE I wouldn't dare to ask for a bigger table because the event is of a different magnitude.
