For things we didn't do this year, but might want to do next year.
Volunteer recognition
I'm imagining special stickers to add to your name badge:
- Staff, for people with official offices
- Organizer, for participants on pyohio-organizers
- Speaker
- Gold stars. Staff members would carry a bunch of gold stars and give them to people who provide that crucial on-the-fly impromptu help. We could even set a swag prize aside for the person with the most gold stars...
Open Space recognition
Open-space organizers should put their names on the open-space cards they put up (that's actually part of the official open-space "protocol". Set a swag prize aside to give to a random open-space organizer.
