You're not stating the important point. We previously had a box to enter our name. It was the sign in sheet on the security guard's desk at the Yahoo! building. You didn't have to do it in advance, which means that anyone who decided to come to the tech meeting on spec could do so. Now we have to be organised. Fortunately not very organised - lunchtime same day is no hardship. But it does require some organisational discipline. However, I think it's worthwhile considering that Yahoo! is an excellent venue.
