[Ubuntu-ch] Financing for non-alcoholic beverages

[Ramon Cahenzli]

Hi all,

I'm in the final stages of the Zürich RP preparations :)

One item that popped up was the drinks. Initially, I had a sponsor, but 
that sponsor had to drop us because of an unrelated issue. I've 
contacted a second possible sponsor, but it looks like drinks won't be 
sponsored at the Zürich RP.

So Moira and I thought of the following solution:

1. Non-alcoholic drinks are free for visitors.
2. We sell FreeBeer for CHF 3.50 per bottle (we buy it for 2.30/bottle)
3. If the costs of non-alcoholic beverages can _not_ be completely 
covered by the beer profits, volunteers from the SwissTeam chip in the rest.

Moira and I are ready to volunteer, so I think the bill should not be 
too high for each of us. If more join in, even less so.

What's cute about this solution is that it also shows that free does not 
mean free, since the FreeBeer will cost something :)

What do you think?

Ramon
