Closed chief closed 11 years ago
I can't see why not. Not a priority right now though. Solets put it into the agenda
@pagojo I know that this is not a priority right now. I made a milestone for release first batch. This should be our priority and everybody know it.
this is deprecated (see light launch)
@chief so I guess we will serve lightweight applications (1 controller, 1 view and 2 models max) ready for launch aka. the light launch! :wink:
Quick Update for light lunch.
The light lunch is going to a) be paid by the delegates b) ordered by the delegates using EV (N21 and EV are handling this. They report to me) c) the number of available light lunches is determined by our projections based on the questionnaire we sent to the delegates

@fotos ;) @vvatikiotis shall we open a new issue for lunch or not?
You renamed the task (good). Light lunch is provided by others. Let them handle it. We will help with communicating to the delegates when time comes. Leave as it is. Changing to @vvatikiotis since we assigned it to him due to eventora/n21 dealing competency :)

Dear Friends,
During the 2013 EuRuKo lunch breaks you'll have the option of enjoying a variety of light lunch dishes, catered by www.dipnosofistirion.gr. A company which, in our opinion, successfully combines the traditional Greek flavors with modern cooking trends. We hope that you'll enjoy the quality and authenticity of the Hellenic cuisine!
Bon Appétit,
The EuRuKo 2013 Team
I can't believe I just did that. If it was one of you guys who wrote this, it is understandable. If it was a pro (e.g. the catering) then I'm in the wrong business!
A few more information about lunch:
food@euruko2013.org
or similar should be set, forwarding emails to us and Sissy and Nikos Tsamis. This email should be on the EV page.Please ignore me if you are offended
Guys I don't wan't to be a troll, but I still suggest we look into the idea of actually having a small buffet for all the delegates provided by us. The cost would be around 3K (judging by the FOSSCOMM prices). This would solve the food issue since everyone will have a (small but) descent meal.
This proposal is due to 3 reasons
We need the fat in our budget. OTOH if we can find a sponsor, we can consider it. We've got to be quick about it though.
I agree with you on the "fat" point. Note that there is already a sponsor from whom we are waiting a final answer at the moment (Vodafone). In any case, should I go ahead and ask N21 for prices?
They might be overwhelmed.... I say lets wait a bit on that, Let N21 work for the sponsor and the goodies bag and things that need to be OK'ed cause of production times. If Vodafone comes through then we can ask. It's simple for them but I'd feel better if we let them push with things that need to be finalised now.

I agree with waiting but the issue is that this decision on wether we are going to have free light lunch for all or not kind of blocks the announcement of paid light lunch (or not :confused:).
Please keep in mind the accounting issue that we may have if we serve food. Remember the weird law about tickets/receipts/invoices and "entertainment"? If not call me to explain (in greek) as ask the accountant :)

@nikosd If I am not mistaken this has been resolved due to the fact that the payments will be made directly to the catering company
Possibly not if we hand out food. This is why I said that we have to ask the accountant.

Quick answers:
PS try answering through github and not via email cause the text gets a bit f*cked
I am not for or against any of the two ways of doing this. I don't know the logistics of @nolamesa proposal. Buffett means that everyone will eat, plates and cutlery for 500 ppl, which involves setting up the foyers for it. Where as with the current approach only 100ppl max will be eating, in which case is much easier.
TBH I think our current approach is more than ok. Having said that, if it was March and I wasn't overworked I could very well consider the buffett alternative.
As far as I am concerned I would strongly suggest to try to provide a minimum service to everyone (fruits is the least we can do and sandwiches the max). The fact that there aren't many places around to have a lunch worries me a lot. I will not push on this, let's move on as we decided. Couple quick notes to keep in mind:
My proposal does not require any logistics from our side. The whole setup will be arranged by the catering company (in both scenarios) and in this situation since we are talking about small sandwiches all that is required is some napkins.
Regarding the preordering solution, we should make clear what the minimum 50 orders means. Is it 50 orders for each day or the sum for the two days? In the latter scenario there is an increased possibility that we will not get the people needed.
Guys from what I understand you don't really support my idea about providing some free light lunch option. Let's not stall things any longer. What is the status on the Eventora-Catering solution? Is it ready to be announced? If so @nikosd please include it in the list of the announcements in the imminent email to the ticket holders.
Note: in case we haven't done so please clarify with N21 what 50 orders means (see my comment above)
EV and N21 are ready. Corrections in the text are in place. They also asked if they can go live.
Announcements:
I'm on 2 but I don't know where to put it on 3 (if this makes sense)
Strictly speaking, it's under hostility errrr hospitality services, with the guide being a part of it. We can brainstorm about where we place it tonight.

Please no brainstorming tonight on this - seriously... We have more important stuff to do than discussing (8 people) where to put some text on the site...
I made a hospitality@euruko2013.org list and added Tsamis and Sissy in it. I haven't put anyone else in this list since they we'll be handling this issue. This will go to the lunch page so as they can handle any incoming requests.
If you have another name in mind, please share.

Don't like it. hospitality != (Tsamis || Sissy)
and I would like to know what's going on. But whatever.
I can change it, np. catering@euruko2013.org
would be better?

I think I'll change it anyway. More precise
Have think about offerring our 14 speakers free lunch? The upper value for 14 ppl times 2 days, with our most expensive menu is €476. If we go with this it has to be communicated with the speakers before the announcement of light lunch.
Adding it here for the record: the accountant noted that we can offer fruits for free (as we do for coffee) without having any taxation imposed on us. The tax law applied in our conference changes if we offer food (from an educational event to an entertainment one) and would burden us with more taxes. But in the case of coffee and fruits this doesn't apply so we can offer these for free (paid by us).
Light lunch update: Page is ready. There's an EV issue though, delegates have to order for 2 days, if they want. EV - N21 are dealing with it.
@vvatikiotis close this issue?
In skroutz we have a catering company LaCigale which charges 6€ for each meal. Assuming that an individual meal is far more expense than a mass catering for 600 people I as curious of what will be the price for our event.
Should we check this solution?
So, what do you think? Shall we ask for a price (of course The Girls will know about it)
