Hi all,

So I think if we are going to do this, we need to act: we'd need to find a supplier over the weekend and get them ordered.

I looked into flags but I think in the end James was write and we should use ISO language codes or something: flags are too political and hard to source.

We're thinking of a small sticker with something like "I can whisper in _________." If possible using Elika's design, but a) we want to keep the costs down and b) it has to stick on the nametags people will have (so it has to be small but readable. An alternative might be a button (i.e. with a pin) if those are cheap enough, easily sourced, and can be written on.

Some practical questions:

1) Who's all going to Lausanne and hence able to bring things? It might make sense to source things close to that person (if somebody is able to arrange buttons or stickers, I can reimburse them up to let's say $300 CAD (about US$250)).

2) Are we being too cute with "whisper"? I was among those who liked it, but I wonder if "I speak," "I can interpret," or "I can share" might be more obvious.

Ideas?
