[EuroPython] to join or not to join

[Joachim Schmitz]

hi,

in the process of developing the workflow for the EuroPython conference, 
it became very obvious, that for the internal processing, it would be 
butthe best solution to allow any entering of data requires to be logged 
in, which in turn requires to join the site.

Even though the technical benefit is obvious - at least for the 
web-team, there is some discussion about, if this prevents people from 
doing actions on the site, like submitting talks or even registering for 
the conference.

So I suggest the following:

on the main page of the EPC-site there is something like this:

support the idea of an European Python conference and express your 
interest in the EPC 2004 in Göteborg by joining this site as a member. 
It is as easy as entering your fullname and email address.
By this you can help us (the organizers) to make a better conference, 
also you as a member have the following advantages:

- personalized news: what is new on the site since your last visit
- easier registration process
- express your personal preferences for example for food
- book a room in a cheap accomodation
- easier to submit talks

more shuggar for joining can be added...


just my 2 ec
