[Jenkins-events] Write-in name tag ribbons for JUC

Tue Oct 1 18:17:56 UTC 2013

I like this idea. Altho  attaching stickies to name tag might be a bit
cumbersome since our name tag is not that big. If we have a set of
categories I can have stickers made (like the one we one did @ J1), i think
it'll stand out more with fonts more legible, we can also have leave room
on the sticker for people to fill in the blank.

how does that sound?

regards,
alyssa
