Everything is policy-driven, in the end. Some policies are in writing and
some aren't.
This isn't criticizing the host or his/her helpfulness; it's a reasonable
question. If that's their policy for this conference, so be it.

Dear C4L community,

virtualization in academic settings -- specifically, virtualized desktops.

I agree on the need for branding, and on offering the community several
