While I myself also don't think that eating meat as often as people
do is a sustainable choice, it is not our role to make the world
a better place through any other means than Free Software and Free
ideas.
Although there seems to be a large overlap between our
freedom-oriented community and the community revolving around "all
things sustainable", we certainly have others who have different
opinions and make different choices. DebConf is not a forum for
anything not related to Debian, and we cannot abuse it to enforce
radical choices upon attendees, unless we want to decimate their
number.
That said, once we have the contract in place, we could and should
work with the youth hostel to improve the offering and make sure we
don't waste food.
And I don't want to rule out that there will be days without meat,
this is certainly not something we should sell as no-meat, but
rather as yummy-food.
I have asked the youth hostel to provide a short summary of their
offerings.
