Printing is better -- and shouldn't be too difficult. Just be sure to have a hundred blank ones printed as well.

Agreed.

Last time we had some empty space to fill in the most relevant information. There was a hand-written text "Mauku" in my badge last year.

I do still like the idea of leaving white space for hand-written or drawn elements.

I'll work up something newer tonight and post it.

I'm going to go with what makes the most sense at this point:

1. Produce a generic design that allows room for name and other details to be provided via secondary printing with data merge.

2. Provide a master template indicating locations and types of data fields (thanks Tim).

Also, going this route means it's better for you to arrange printing. However, I wil try to run off generics and bring them with me as backups. I'm arriving a day early if you want to meet up sometime for handoff.

Why print blanks? Nokia should foot this expense.

Just a handful, just to be helpful.

I'm a big contingency guy.

qgil, before you send out that email, there is one thing that might have to be fixed (or else i hope someone could explain to me how to perform the task correctly). i have already tried to update information at the above mentioned location, but the changes only last for a short while and then reverts back. more specifically, i have mutiple times tried to add my last name, but it always reverts back to the previous state.

Ok, I'm working on round 2, and have a dilemma-- no way is that schedule fitting on the paper as-is.

So I propose trimming the details down to just times and events, and leaving out names, roles, etc... just for badge purposes. Complaints?
