One thing I'm concerned about is whether attendees are going to be upset
about disclosing their personal information to Puppet Labs in this way.  Of
course it's preferable over having to share it with an external third party
(event brite), but in that case at least the people choosing to attend the
C&W party are in control of what data is shared.  What is the overall
thinking here about the data we'll export?

AIUI, PuppetLabs wants name and email for the people attending (they also
want physical address, but we explained this wasn't available and they were
ok with it).  Should we try to insist on only giving them names, since they
have no reason to contact people by email afterwards?  They mostly just want
a headcount, right?

Strawman:

 - add a C&W party sign-up checkbox to the website
 - include a disclaimer letting people know their name and email will be
   shared with PuppetLabs as the event host
 - include a pointer to the CoC
 - send out a mail to debconf-announce the week of the conference (no
   earlier!) with sign-up instructions and a stated deadline

Is this in line with what other people are expecting here?
