But there was an explicit checkbox to being on the attendance list in the registration form, on the second page: By submitting this registration you consent to The Linux’s Foundation’s communication with you with respect to the event or services to which this registration pertains. * The Linux Foundation Communications ... * Sponsor Communications ... * Attendee Directory By checking here, you opt-in to being listed in the event’s online attendee directory. Some of your registration data will be made available to other event attendees in the directory (name, title, company name only) Why isn't that sufficient? Cheers, - jonathan
