Re: Food at debconf
The school restaurant provides lunchs on July 7th to 11th, 15th, 17th and 18th and is pretty flexible: 1 or 2 days in advance is ok, as long as a reasonable amount of people change their minds. For breakfasts (not brunches), I expect the same flexibility, as we’ll be dealing with local bakeries.
For the other meals, I would expect a 1- or 2-week notice to be the maximum our caterers could accept.
OK, That's helpful. Are tickets entirely specific to meal/day or are they just 'one lunch', 'one dinner' tickets?
They’ll definitely be specific to each meal I’m afraid. Because of very… French reasons (some don’t work during the evening, during FR national day, during week-ends…), we need to work with plenty of caterers and we’re unfortunately not as flexible as we’d like to be. If there’s something specific to your situation that you want to discuss in private, don’t hesitate, although I don’t want to set a precedent as I definitely don’t have the “spoons” to deal with dozens of exceptions to the rules we set.
