It's not only registration. We also need to set up banners, test
cameras and make sure everything is in place.

It's worth noting that, when it comes to GUADEC, registration is more
of a formality. People should register at some point, so we can keep a
head count, but they can definitely attend talks without having a
badge.

I'll default to Alexandre on this though.
