We made sure that there would be enough vegetarian and vegan food in all meals, including hot main courses. On the way we taught the catering staff what veganism is, so vegans can be happy about this educational success :) Nevertheless, a significant number of vegetarian people had hard time finding their meals. I thought about labeling it, because discerning the ingredients is not always easy, especially in a foreign country. Unfortunately, it slipped my mind at the last minute. Recommendation to all future Wikimania organizers: Just ask the catering company for detailed labels on the food. Don't just ask, put it in the contract. They know the info, they have the staff and it should be their job. -- Amir _______________________________________________ Wikimania-l mailing list Wikimania-l@lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikimania-l
