Yes, I am: I've sent out various queries, and am waiting on responses
now.

Indeed: if not we'll just have a cash bar, but it would be great to have
a sponsor organise some food/drinks during the ceilidh.
It's getting short notice for bands, so I think we should be ready to be
flexible and move from the Thursday to the Wednesday or Friday if
necessary -- hopefully matters should be clearer in a day or two.

For those who haven't been watching this discussion: we'd still have a
day of tourism stuff, just not of the form "DebConf pays for everyone to
go somewhere on coaches".
The current best idea seems to be to have a couple of options during the
day, possibly including one (e.g. Edinburgh Castle) that people would
pay for themselves, but there are plenty of free museums/galleries/parks
etc. in Edinburgh to keep people busy. I'm wondering about
intentionally leaving finalising the options late until we have a better
guess at what the weather might be like.

These will be free to us.
