Wow, it's going to be so soon!

I'm kind of for just having sharpies and blank nametags on a table, with instructions to print! clearly! and write either/both one's board name or/and one's real name, depending on what one is comfortable being called.

DX said,

There are a lot of first time F2Fers on the list, including many for whom we've never seen pictures

-- it occurs to me that perhaps it would be a good idea to make a little temporary attendees-of-the-F2F3 picture-gallery so that we can all get a bit of familiarity with one another's faces before meeting?

This would be different from the actual Buffista Photo Gallery in that 1) it would only represent people who will be coming to DC, and 2) it can self-destruct after the F2F if people so desire. I'll host and code if people email their photos to me.

sharpies and blank nametags

Given the timeframe, this may be the best option. I want to point out (probably needlessly) that the clip/pin-on kind would last all weekend, as opposed to the sticky kind.

I'm confused, too. If Java has Vortex's list, she should have all my info and amyth's as well. I can send it again, I guess it's no big.

We've had the hang-around-your-neck kind in the past.

Really, I can make them with no problem, as long as I get a list.

Also? People who have never been to an F2F before, you may get called by your screen name even if you have a real name you prefer. I'm pretty sure this happens with great regularity (see also, Trudy, Meara).

Mostly, I want to know if I can call Lizard, well, Lizard.

Link to a useable shareable pic of me (taken by SA!):

Theo, that's a beautiful picture of you!

Here are a couple of me: this one is from a few years ago, and this one is from last year when I was in Australia; I'm the one in the red jacket, and plasmo and Angus are the others (hope they don't mind!).

Java, I'll send you my phone number. My name is my name. I have no objection at all to all the attendees having my cell phone number; I found that list to be a lifesaver in LA last year.

We're supposed to post shareable pictures?

Let's see if this one works

Kate, your pictures don't work due to an exceeding of data allocation, or something.

Deb, you're linking to the file on your hard drive rather than an uploaded version thereof.

&*%$@# Geocities! Hmph. Never mind, then.

Edit: Deb, I can't see your picture either.

Crap. OK, hang on...

Does this work? Or does it require a log-in?

Vortex, do you have the info for Hubs?

For your honey? Yes.

There's been a lot of confusion. Basically, I was actually working yesterday when someone asked about the list, so I wasn't around and Java asked people to send her information. I'm not quite sure what this accomplishes, but as far as I know, info is still coming to me.
