[Debconf-announce] issues with food tickets
Dear All,
Many people did not fill in their arrival and departure time within two
weeks of the deadline for confirming their attendance, and have not
reacted to personal reminder mails in a timely fashion. Since arrival and
departure times were used for determining the food numbers, these people were not
noticed and taken into account when the Debconf6 organizers made arrangements
for lunch and dinner. Approximately 80 people altogether are affected by
this. We are very, very sorry that this only came to our attention now.
Some of these people were mistakenly issued food tickets in their bags.
If you don't have food tickets, or did not fill in your arrival or
departure dates within two weeks of reconfimation time, we would like to sell you
food tickets for the meals, so that we can eat together at the restaurant.
Lunch tickets cost 70 Pesos each, and dinner tickets cost 63 Pesos each. The
restaurant needs 24 hours to react to increases in numbers, so it is
vital that you inform us as quickly as possible that you wish to purchase food
tickets.
Due to the restaurant´s latency, it is unfortunately not possible for
you to eat with the rest of the group on the first day that you purchase
additional food tickets. On this first day, we would ask you to find your own food
at the market (budget option) or at the other restaurants in the area. We
do not want to encourage people to do this routinely though, since part of
the fun of debconf is to share the meals with each other.
Please come to the info room (next to the hacklab) to purchase your food
tickets.
The formal dinner and the food at the day trip are free for everyone,
while the food tickets for lunch on the day of the day trip are void.
Since some of the people affected by this might not be able to afford
the full price of the meals, we would greatly appreciate any donations (at
your own convenience and discretion, of course!) to anonymously help these
people fund their meals. Please bring these donations to the info desk.
We sincerely apologise for the inconvenience this may have caused.
regards,
your debconf6 orga team
