Hi As I wrote already in my report from the last Le Camp visit, we discussed some options around lunch.
In their standard offer, Le Camp has two lunch options. One is a full cooked meal (16 CHF), the other is called "formule lunch" (10 CHF) and is mainly intended in case you want to spend the day on a trip and eat somewhere else. The details about this option have been discussed back in May [1]. Le Camp told us, that they won't serve us the same sandwich buffet every day even if we choose the "formule lunch" for the whole conference. They are looking into ways to make a cold buffet with salad and other things for us for the same price as the "formule lunch". We also discussed that we could upgrade to the price of the full lunch for some days and they would serve us a better buffet or meal on every day. The current budget includes the "formule lunch" for every day for 90 persons during DebCamp and 290 persons during DebConf. But currently we only have 50 persons during DebCamp and 250 persons during DebConf. This means that we will use about 15k CHF less for the meals (34 * 40 *4 + 34 * 40 * 7). The question is now if we are happy with the "formule lunch" on every day as it is or if we want a better lunch on some days. The complete lunch costs 6CHF/meal more. If we want to improve the lunch I suggest we choose the full lunch for 2 days during DebCamp and 3 days during DebConf. This would cost us 5100.- CHF (600.- for DebCamp and 4500.- for DebConf). As we have to announce the meal numbers for the first days this week-end, we have to decide this very soon. For me personally either way is fine, but in the past some people voiced concerns about the lunch. I think that good food is very important for the success of the conference. As the improvement is possible within the overall budget numbers for food I propose that we do the upgrade unless there is opposition until tomorrow (Friday 25 August) evening (CEST). I'm sorry that this is a bit rushed. I wanted to bring this up for discussion earlier but then forgot again and only now realized that time is running out. Please comment soon! Gaudenz P.S.: I'll be on [VAC] from tomorrow morning until Sunday evening. So don't expect many replies from me, but hug and Odyx/Didier should also be able to answer any questions.
