<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif"">In speaking with the Oregon Convention Center, to bring in food carts a buyout is required (meaning FOSS4G has to pay the OCC’s exclusive in-house caterer money to account
for their lost revenue), which does not provide additional cost savings to FOSS4G. In OCC’s experience in planning their own events, it has been difficult to get food cart vendors to agree to come to the venue since only a nominal amount of carts within the
city are portable. <o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif"">OCC’s in-house caterer does have a few food carts of their own, however the cost for the carts and the food would be at FOSS4G’s expense, not the attendees.

<p class="MsoNormal">for TEDxConcordia a year or two ago, they brought in food carts (n=3?) for the attendees (n=I don't remember, bah)... and the logistics were a bit rough. Tiny kitchen, lots of demand all within a 45-minute time-window.<o:p></o:p></p>
