[Owasp-board] Reminder to speakers to be constructive?

[Dinis Cruz]

Also, Tom in order to prevent what happened at the European Conference, can
you also make sure that the speakers full understand the need to be
independent and (this was one of the ideas that was bounced after Ghent)
maybe ask each speaker to give a 1m overview of what is his bias (who is
his employer and what issues he personally/commercial will represent (even
if not on purpose). Ideally we (OWASP) should be the ones doing those
introductions, but unless you already have them done, there is no time.
Btw, is there a speaker code of conduct?
