Have done that, and I think I even have it somewhere. There are two
ways for doing this:
- Via a Zebra printer - a special printer which spits thermal-printed
labels which are then put over the nametag.
Advantage: Easiest, you can print them one by one as the people come
by, even good looking :)
Disadvantage: We don't have one. I don't know how much would it cost
to rent it, but I doubt it's much worth it
- Pre-generating sheets with all of the nametags, then printing them
all together, cutting them and putting them in the plastic
envelopes.
Advantages: Cheap
Disadvantages: We'll have to cut each of the labels. If we are to
laminate them (instead of just putting them inside a plastic little
bag), we have to have them all ready beforehand, it'll be difficult
for people just to walk in. Well, this might even be an advantage
;-)
I have done both ways, and IIRC I have the code ready for printing the
second alternative using LaTeX.

Ok

Ok, that can easily be done from the system as well, and we have some
days to sort out the details.

I think that everything that's personalizable should be personalized -
i.e., I expect us to screw up at least once, so we'd better be
prepared. We'll screw up less often if we print labels with the
person's name and size and stick it on the shirt, if we print the food
tickets with the name of the (at least, intended) owner. We can then
just put one-of-everything in the bag, just making sure we put a
shirt, a book of tickets and a nametag with the same name. And it'll
be easier to recover from screwups.

It is - at least, via your friendly walking proxy :)

That's even easier if we -once again- abuse the labels. Print a label
'Gunnar Wolf - July 2' and stick it to my bag.

Ok, that can be done in some minutes. Less than that, in fact ;-)

Yes, we should check the logistics for this. Will there be one key per
room as in .br, or one per person?

Wouldn't it be easier if you got a notebook to keep for the entire
Debconf? We can take your passport/ID as a warranty. And you can turn
it in for keysigning.
