[Wikimania-l] Thanks for all the fish... and lessons learned

Or just your photos are plenty of Commons. :D

User name and home wiki are musts in my opinion, WMF staff are
preferable (and separated from the organizing team) since even during
the conference some topics raised up and there would be many people
who wanted to talk w/ staffers but not known who were whom - not every
people joined Berlinerkonferenz and [[wmf:Staff]] doesn't provide us
every single staffer photos. In addition, it sometimes may be a bit
tough to distinguish Mr. A from Mr.B if those two comes from the one
same ethnic group. Conclusion: clear printing names and if possible
affiliation is beneficial. Not for only for us wikimaniacs but also
for the people got so an interested to come and see who Wikimedians
would be - The lesser you've got involved into the community, the more
clues might help.

Also, even if an option, I prefer to see a latenized name along in
their original script. Either printed or handwriting. In other words
in East Asia the local may often be referred in their original names,
specially they are active in that area. I suppose same may happen in
other linguistic group dominating areas, but I might be wrong.

Sorry for sounding my saying is too much corner picking, but I'd just
love to write down before things flow from my mind.

Cheers,
