When I said "hobby", what I had in mind wasn't pottery or macrame, but rather a deep interest that goes beyond your involvement in your current company. A large percentage of the relevant people for this conference are likely to be currently unemployed, switch jobs a month after the conference, currently employed for a company that does not have immediate involvement in Linux, or a company that doesn't like its employees to go to conferences, or whatever. So don't be surprised if people with IDs like 123456789 and working for "Vandalay Industries" or "Kramerica" [1] register to the conference ;) Using the name "Hamakor" will work just as well :) As they say, you can lead a horse to water but you can't make it drink - they can enforce entering these details but have no scalable way to actually verify any of them except your email and phone number.
