Subject: [100attendees] Any old badges?
Precedence: list

Some people keep old conference badges as mementos. Sometimes, that
includes old IETF badges.

So here's a suggestion, since IETF 100 is coming up and that is a
slightly magic number**.

If you've kept old IETF badges, bring the oldest one you have to
Singapore... and wear it. (I'm sure the Secretariat would like you
to wear the current badge, too.)

No prize on offer, but it would fun to watch out for the oldest badge.

** 100 decimal equals 64 hexadecimal, which would be a square if
it was decimal. 100 decimal also equals 144 octal, which would
also be a square if it was decimal. Probably 100 has other
fun properties, but that's one that I noticed.

This is the first IETF since IETF 4 to have this property. The
next IETFs to have this property will be IETF 256 and IETF 289.
After that, you'll have to wait a very long time.
