[Linux-aus] Photos at conferences

[Mark Ellem]

Agreed about preference for photography being shown would be nice in an ideal world but maybe the simple thing to do if you want to take a photo of somebody is to ask.

Coloured lanyards at conferences like LCA are used for other designations so using them for photography preference is not practical. 

Also you would need to keep telling the delegates the meaning of the lanyards which although may be mainly understood will in course be missed by some and photos will contain non consenting delegates.

Only thing I can say to conference delegates about your interactions with others: "Be excellent to each other".
