WordCamp SF badges will use Gravatars; What about WordCamp Philippines?

Update: Andy Peatling has released the source for generating gravatar-powered badges for conferences. Find out how.

Here’s an interesting new development in the upcoming WordCamp—WordCamp San Francisco, that is. Camper badges will use the gravatars of the registered attendees.

So now I wonder if the folks organizing WordCamp Philippines will do the same. This also begs the question as to how many Filipino WordPress users—and Filipino bloggers in general—use Gravatars. Do you?

Blogie, that’s awesome news! But are you going to use gravatars on the badges as well?

I’ve released the source code for generating badges, so you are welcome to use it for WC Philippines.

i think it would be great to use gravatars for campers ID para may picture lahat, instead of plain WP logo and first name of the camper…
