This weekend we talked some points over with the people at Oaxtepec - we will report them over several short mails :) Regarding the restaurant: They told me the preferred way with large groups is not to use barcode scanners, not even to use tickets, but to use visual authentication - the waiters will serve to everybody who has a Debconf nametag of the right colors. They say that's what most large groups do with them. Of course, they will still count how many meals were served, and it's completely a trust-based relationship - We will pay for whatever amount they say was served. Now, this opens up a bit for abuse, as people can give others their nametags and we get to pay meals for free to other people - but I would basically hope we can trust our group. They also agree to use tickets, which would mean more hassle (printing and counting them for each person), but stronger authentication. What do you think? Do you oppose the simple trust model?
