Well worth reading this then:

http://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/FOSS4G_2009_Lessons_Learned

 The earlier 'lessons learned' wiki pages are worth reading too - we
don't want a repeat of the great food mistake of 2007:

"""
FOSS4G attendees are predominantly male. That means that standardized
food orders, that expect more gender balance, will tend to
under-budget for how much each attendee eats. This was especially
noticeable on "pizza day", when, despite the food services
accidentally over-providing 20 pizzas, we still consumed every single
piece.
