I strongly concur. Lunch onsite is a nice for a short break that doesn't cut into hacking time too much. What I liked in Birmingham was that lunch was in the building, but in a separate room and for an hour, we all got to leave, have our stuff locked safely away and eat/chat with our fellows, but it was *only* an hour break. Lunch in the room is OK, too, but probably means less social interaction during lunch. That's still better than a long interruption for lunch. -- David
