I think we've seen in Banja Luca that this doesn't work - thinkgs like
prinding tickets and giving them out does not scale - also usually people want
their tickets 2 minutes before lunch/dinner becuase they forgot about it
earlier, so there will be a huge pile up...

And people who prepare the tickets, give them out... and so on.

Not sure if the hostel is willing to do it, but my idea would be:
- - the hostel cooks for 100% of the people which are attending to the
conference according to penta
- - we pay the normal price for the meals which were actually eaten by
conference attendees
- - we pay a reduced price for the meals which are left over, but instead of
throwing them away the hostel passes them on to the 'heidelberger tafel e.V.'.
So we pay a bit less without having to do a huge extra amount of work - and we
are doing something good for people who are not able to pay for their daily food.
Cheers,
Bernd
