[Inpycon] On using QR codes for sponsor-participant contact exchange.

[Haris Ibrahim K. V.]

Hi,

Sorry about the slight delay. Getting back to all the emails now.

Bibhas, your idea of having stickers printed will make it easier to
find and distribute the QR codes.

Anand, even in the way you suggested, the technology involved will be
the tablet scanning the QR code at the sponsor booth. So I guess the
initial approach would work just as fine.

However, as Bibhas suggested at the beginning, is there anything that
is absolutely wrong with using the pen and paper approach? If that
makes the lives of both parties easier, then the logical thing to do
would be to go ahead with that. Is there a reason why we *have* to use
contact exchange, QR code, bar code reader or things of the sort?
