Im a vegetarian and have been to many confs... i took pictures of a
bunch of my previous badges from confs as "research" for what we might
need and noticed quite a few had my dietary requests on them. The
rationale being, sometimes ppl wo restrictions eat the special order
food and the folks with the restrictions end up with nothing to eat.
mostly as a sidebar on conf badge design, I have had the exact same
experience with people consuming all of the "special food needs stuff"
:). in most cases where they checked dietary restrictions, they had
fancy, fancy scan-able badges which had the info and only avail to staff.
However, it is a great point, and I would just say, "print food choice
on the back" so it is at least semi-secure and list them all "regular",
"veg", "vegan", "chickenatarian" (yeah, looking at you
matt),
"piscetarian", weirdo-GF people (yeah, that's a mirror), Sugar-y snacks
(yep, all 3 of my kids), etc :).. Joking aside.. list "standard" and
whatever food choices people want to make on the back (or some such).
This problem is going to get worse before it gets better with rampant
food allergies showing up.

How are the food ordering and dietary restrictions being handled (eg
bagged lunches and when theyre gone thats it? Or made to order - less of
an issue.) We are collecting dietary info in the registration iirc so
just wondering what we actually do w it and if we care it's on the
badge. If it needs to be on the badge then we can certainly handle
discreetly (colored stickers on back placed during reg for example.) If
not, we dont plan for it.
Does anybody know the food situation?

One issue we have up front is that we think it's important
to include
the "get help" info on the back of the badge. Rochester
Flock had Ruth,
Josh, and Tom's cell phone numbers and emails. Are they
still the people
to list for help, or are there other people we should be
listing as
those who can help?
What kind of help would that mean? Probably you can consider adding
me to that list, if you don't mind.

Back of Badge Essentials:
--------------------------
- link to
sched.org <
http://sched.org> schedule
- "Get Help" info (#flock-help, phone numbers / emails)
- conference website (
flocktofedora.org
<
http://flocktofedora.org>)
flocktofedora.org <
http://flocktofedora.org> already has a link
to
sched.org <
http://sched.org>, maybe it's enough
to put only
flocktofedora.org <
http://flocktofedora.org>?

Other possible data to include:
[...]
- Meal selection (special dietary needs?)
Are you sure that meal selection should be displayed public and
permanently? I guess the people with special needs will choose
whatever
they need, optionally may tell somebody what they want or ask
about the
ingredients when taking food. Probably no need to show this
information
on the badge.
+1 ... speaking as someone who has a dietary restriction, I definitely
prefer keeping it to myself unless it is necessary to discuss it. If the
data was encoded or something (like in a bar code or something) and it
made it easier to "get lunch" that would be fine. But I don't think we
are doing something quite that complicated ;)

Otherwise it's OK.
