Hello,

I worry that we have left this a little bit too late, and that we have not been giving Herr Gemkow enough support.
At this point, I understand that we have the following plans:
Coffee to be provided by the University, as they have good high powered coffee makers.
Rolls of some sort to be bought and brought in separately by local volunteers, whether that's Michael, Andi, or Brian is not yet clear.
Yeah, I'm bringing some stuff from the backery in the morning with me. I'll check in the "Metro" if they have some sort of roles in big packages. But i suspect so. All this if the doc wont ground me (got ill over the weekend in Milano and I can go to the doc only on thursday as I return only tomorrow).
The thinking is that most folks will have breakfast at their hotel, so the rolls/donuts are a 'nice to have', not a 'have to have'.
- Lunch is still open. I think if we just ordered 30 pizzas delivered along with some soda that would suffice. I don't know if there are more elaborate plans than that, or if it would be okay for us to have pizza in the meeting rooms.
I think there is some more healthier food planned, Mr Gemkow would know more. The US guys should survive that ;)
- Dinner Saturday I think we're nearly done on; I understand that Hans-Ulrich is making a reservation for us on Saturday.
Is that about right? Am I way behind the curve?
It seems to me that if we could have someone to volunteer to take care of rolls (there are two days, so maybe two volunteers), and if someone could volunteer to figure out lunch, that we would maybe have this covered.
As far as how this all gets paid for, I think we're still figuring out who is willing to sponsor what events; CodeWeavers will at the least cover any otherwise unclaimed expenses, so folks should certainly feel comfortable scheduling pizza deliveries knowing that someone will step up to pay for it.
(I was planning on picking up dinner on Saturday; if all other expenses get to be too much, I'm going to assume no one will mind going dutch on Saturday; we're looking at ~20-25 EUR/person).
