[00:00] <JanC> one reason being that during the "lunch pause" it will probably take you 30 minutes in line to get your fries...  :P
[00:01] <elky> We tend to have LCA in places you can walk 5 minutes to find 20 food outlets.
[00:02] <elky> Or places with large cafeterias, like Uni food halls.
[00:04] <JanC> well, the uni cafeteria isn't open during FOSDEM (they are closed in the weekend)
[00:05] <elky> Well that's silly. We tell them there's going to be 700 hungry geeks and they quite happily open up.
[00:09] <JanC> and FOSDEM brings thousands of visitors, not 700 (I've seen the cafeteria, no way 3000 geeks fit in there)
[00:10] <JanC> so there are 2 cafeteria's operated by the university's computer club (they get at least part of the profit), plus several stands with fries, hamburgers, etc.
[00:10] <JanC> plus some peopel get food further away
[00:11] <elky> Then that's an oversight in organisation, really.
[00:12] <elky> Disallowing people a food break so they don't eat all over the day, for the reason that they eat all over the day and not enough is organised, is not a reason to mock conferences that do provide food breaks.
[00:12] <JanC> FOSDEM is 100% volunteer-run, and they have to work within the restrictions of the university
[00:12] <elky> JanC, LCA is 100% volunteer run.
[00:13] <elky> And we work within the restrictions of a new venue every single year, and still provide food breaks.
[00:14] <JanC> I'm not really mocking LCA or SCaLE for having a food break, but rather mocking FOSDEM for being too busy to have one
[00:14] <JanC> well, mocking both ways maybe  ;)
[00:15] <JanC> I see no way FOSDEM could have a real lunch break without moving location, which is almost impossible because of the size/cost
[00:16] <JanC> and it seems most people don't complain...
[00:16] <JanC> peopel just try to take a lunch break when there are no talks they want to see
