[Linux-aus] BarCamp catering (was grant)

[Kathy Reid]

Thanks Stewart, Russell for your input.
Not doing catering was something we considered during event planning.
In Geelong, not all shops are open Saturdays, and it would mean a 10 
minute walk into town, an hour or so for lunch, 10 minute walk back.
At a one day BarCamp this is a lot of time lost.

Also, by catering, people are altogether - it's less likely that cliques 
and little groups form - and provides better opportunity for mingling 
and networking.

I'd also be less likely to travel to a regional location like Geelong 
(if I lived in Melbourne) if I wasn't getting food :-)

Regards,
Kathy
