<p>We should also consider providing a KeepCup as a give-away. It
could be our FOSS4G branding give away thing, and at the same
time, we can invite people to use it at the conference to cut back
on disposable. <br>

<div dir="ltr">Hi all
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I have updated two Google Docs with the latest on the
catering and food that will be served at our social program
events:</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div><a href="https://docs.google.com/document/d/1z-Bve88YiQxDMkuP-OlYZJ1yhqU5LXGB8USAzTfzWaQ/edit?usp=sharing" moz-do-not-send="true">Social Program Menus</a></div>
<div><a href="https://docs.google.com/document/d/10dWqbXWu71CUtxoEza75BA-8TaJOt3NBzDX9aDhw2fM/edit?usp=sharing" moz-do-not-send="true">Catering Menus</a></div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>The main thing to note here is in regard to the drinks.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>We are having drink stations provided by Ecco Hospitality
on all four days. They can supply urn coffee, tea, juice and
water + drinking glasses and ceramic mugs and then take these
away for cleaning. This comes at a significant cost above
drinks in plastic bottles (approx $7 per person vs $1.50 per
person) but saves us from using around 1500 plastic bottles
over the course of the event.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Our estimated $40 per person catering cost will now be
around $45 per person. So an overspend but we have the budget
to choose the more environmentally friendly option that was
preferred in previous conference committee discussions.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>There will be no coffee cart.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Otherwise, everything is in alignment with the menus that
were originally proposed. Dietary requirements will be
collated and sent to each of the venues / caterers.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>If you have any feedback or concerns, please raise them
now.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Cheers</div>
<div>Daniel</div>
