[Debconf-team] DebConf/DebCamp food numbers
Brian/-team,
[-team: please respond to this by 1200 UTC, as brian/we will call to
arrange this tomorrow morning]
Here is where we can get the real food numbers for debcamp and
debconf:

Note that there are different categories for food here, everyone,
sponsored, pay-by-meal, and corp/prof. The meals which we are "on the
hook" for each day are sponsored+corp/prof:
DebCamp W/Th/F: 65 people/meal (±5)
DebConf M/T/Th/F: 185 people/meal (±5)
Debconf-team: what is a reasonable number of minimum meals to order
each for each of these time periods, considering that some will choose
to go out instead of eat with us? Are the numbers _below_ to reserve
and pay for in advance good, or should we go lower? This is the
number we will pay for in advance, with a way to pay for extra people
beyond this each day.
DebCamp W/Th/F: Reserve for 50 people/meal
DebConf M/T/Th/F: Reserve for 150 people/meal
(-team: any unsponsored people can pay cash to eat in this same
location. If we have the time and energy, we could set up some sort
of ticket system to be able to take cash ourselves so that they can
get around sales tax. Exact procedure up to jeremy/brian/the team)[0].

[0] Does payment have to go through us to be tax-exempt? If so, and
we do a "pay us for your meals" thing, that seems to slighly defeat
one of the purposes of having JJ remove the need of us handling
non-sponsored meals ourselves. Do you all have opinions of if we
should just let people pay for themselves, and not worry about that
extra tax?
