Lanyards were never a necessity for the long years we used clip-on or safety-pin nametags. Or when we were in Managua, lanyards were just pieces of string. Having printed lanyards is not necessary at all IMO, and I would also not be happy by having them as one more branded item stuck to my body, prominently advertising a sponsor in all photos and that. FWIW, that could also bring back the discussion that died away (but never got really resolved) about how to identify people for/against being photographed. > > Lower cost, big impacts for Debian and attendees.

If nametags will be in the €400 price range, I'd strongly go the Managua way. €400 is within the price range the cost for a person's attendance costs, which is surely more valuable. Of course, it's a sponsorship opportunity, but a very obnoxious one IMO. But, as Tiago said, I will only state this once and shut up. _______________________________________________ Debconf-team mailing list [email protected] http://lists.debconf.org/mailman/listinfo/debconf-team
