OSCON laxitude
Okay, this conference is now officially super laid-back. You are supposed to wear your OSCON badge on a lanyard around your neck. And helpful attendants are supposed to check it every time you want to enter a pay-for part of the conference.
This is all well and good -- it is how most conferences work.
The problem is, it seems like the checks are totally lax. I took my badge off when I went to lunch, and I just now realized that I forgot to put it back on. I have entered the room for the XSLT talk twice now, and got acknowledged by the security person on the second time.
Wow.

are most conferences not laid back? are they hard core; using the metal detector on you? i suppose i don't understand why you're so surprised that they're laid back.
