All in favour of leaving it up to everyone how to represent themselves, but I think it'd also be good if we encouraged proper behaviour. Free-form *will* get abused and even though it won't matter for the regulars (who'll get a laugh out of it), it'll present a barrier to newcomers. We've received a bit (not much) of negative feedback about the DC15 badge swapping that took place towards the end of the conference — which was just a fun hack, and probably the people involved didn't consider all consequences. Let them write whatever they want on their badges, but please also make sure they know that badges are primarily for others to identify you, not for amusement purposes. -- .''`. martin f. krafft <madd...@debconf.org> @martinkrafft : :' : DebConf orga team `. `'` `- DebConf16: Cape Town: http://debconf16.debconf.org DebConf17: Montreal: https://wiki.debconf.org/wiki/DebConf17
