Great!

be in it, and we'll make sure that  badges can be formatted fast.

Mmm, the data will be on several places... ShareIt, EuroZope (if we can
finish it) and hopefully SWIFT payment.
So we should create our own database. I can do that on the EuroPython site,
we only need to decide which information we need.

And we need people to put the information in the database.

>If whoever is running the site wants to do the work, we could let
registered users design their own.  Also let them fill in stuff about
themselves,

That's difficult, this would be only possible if we can manage the EuroZope
payment, since that is the only solution where people fill in data.
With VISA people pay through ShareIT and with SWIFT people pay through there
bank.

etc. which people download and print beforehand -

Good idea!

site can link to.

Yup, let's do it.

 > Unfortunately ANY such project has to start with sample  data; could
whoever will be assembling the records of  people who signed up, or
structuring the timetables,  mail me and we'll get to work on it?

I do now :-). Nothing decided yet concerning the fields in records.
Timetables is something different, since they aren't ready yet.

hardware.

Over to Denis :-)
