Eclipsecon and ESE have name batches with the name printed only on one side. This reduces the chances to see the name of a person you are talking to. If the name is printed on moth sides of the batch, the name is visible all the time :-)

+1

First name in a very large font would be cool also.

ECon badges have double clips which keeps the badges from flipping over. So you just have to put it on correctly each morning! The back of the badge has other stuff on it so we prefer the double-clip solution rather than the two-sided solution for ECon.

ESE 2010 badges had different clips and they were supposed to be printed on both sides, but that didn't happen. For ESE 2011, we will either be printing on both sides, or using a type that doesn't flip over.

The first name is about as big as we can make it, given how long some names are and what else has to go on the badge. I'm with you on this -- the bigger the better so I can refresh my memory before the conversation begins. :-)

(Say, isn't that the Eclipse Evangelist guy? Geeze, what is his name? Duane? Shane? Walt?)

Anne, you are right: I did not find a single batch flipped oven on the CclipseCon 2010 pictures:

But on ESE 2010 it was a pain ;-)
