I'm already registered for the conference, so this doesn't personally affect
me, but why restrict it to those that registered for the conference?

If any local DC hackers show up, because they heard from a friend that the
hackathon was going on, would we really turn them away?

Thank you,

Shhh, don't tell anybody... In Haifa we had some doubts about it, and
eventually we required registration for the hackathon days, but not
payment if you only come to them (and you would still get pizza). As
far as I recall (it's all very hazy now) it was a good decision - at
least one new productive hacker joined us thanks to this liberal
arrangement.

It's up to the DC organizers to decide, of course.

Good question.  Asheesh is investigating this issue.  Thanks for
bringing it up.

I haven't made friends with the Wikimania DC local organizing team yet,
but this question (and other questions I have) are forcing me to.

Which is good. 

So I'll get back to y'all on this soonish!
