[FOSS4G-Oceania] Catering & Social Program food update

[Cameron Shorter]

I'm in favour of an environmentally friendly option.

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.
