Re: las-gnome Decisions still pending..



You should check with Holli. If we want to use their kitchen, refrigerator, etc. I think there's a cost per day.

Starbucks catering coffee is $13 and serves 12 people. Not a bad option... Can't we do starbucks + Costco muffins or something and keep it at less than $600?

I'm okay to do Starbucks on all days except for Tuesday.  Collabora wanted to have good coffee, like stumptown coffee. ;)  Muffins on the other days.  We would have to buy the muffins early on Sunday and enough for 3 days and then store them.  Logistically, too hard to go every day and get them as there are none near the venue and Portland traffic sucks of late.

Also remember, we should offer both regular and decaf...  What about water?  Get two large pitchers and get a ton of costco water?  I don't know how much costco water costs.... so we need to quickly find that out tomorrow morning.  Maybe call them up and get a price check...  (ice or is that getting complicated?)  I should ask if we can use the venue fridge since tehy do have a kitchen.

Hey Sri,

Speaking personally, I would be comfortable with this kind of budget for coffee/water, especially given all the new sponsors that came in!

Yes, I think one of the stripulations for the board is that we would have to fundraise it ourselves and clearly we have done that.  It would certainly be less hassle for me as the person who has to drive around and do this stuff.  I reckon there is only two of us who have cars here. :D

 
However, that still leaves out the BoF days and it would not include croissants which we should have at least for Tuesday.
So as long as we have a plan for those too, I'd be OK with the expense.

I'm okay not serving during the BoF days.  I don't think we are going to have a huge turnout for those.  Instead, I'm okay with providing a table with a couple pitchers of water and ice on those days and maybe doing a group coffee event.  There are several local coffee places close by. 

Croissants are only for Tuesday.  Croissants are 1.60 bulk.. we could provide a smaller batch of them per day. 

Thanks,
sri

I have not heard from anybody regarding the drink plan.  Tomorrow is the deadline for drinks.  What do people think?  Do we need to talk to the board about the $600 expense for coffee and water for 3 days?  Do we not want to do that?  I need an answer today.
