The US also require visitors to give their fingerprints. This actually
lead some of our contributors to avoid events like the Boston Summit.

Still, I think it's important that we do events in as many countries as
possible (even in those with such a policy), since it's the best way to
reach out to the local people and help create a vibrant community there.

Cheers,

Vincent
