Update: If you are attending, check your badge here!
WordCamp San Francisco 2008 badges will include gravatar images, so make sure you have your gravatar set up before August 14th.
Gravatars now support resolutions up to 512×512 pixels. The higher resolution your gravatar image is, the better it will look on your badge.
For those attendees without a gravatar, an identicon will be included on your badge.
I’m excited to see these in print, I think gravatars will add a really nice touch to the badges, and it also shows they are useful even in the offline world.
I’ll be writing a tutorial on how to generate gravatar enabled conference badges very soon.

Um, I know the geek showing in that Gravatar. Wait… yes I do, it’s my friend Andy!

Would be really nice if there was a way to see a preview of the badge before hand. That will give me chance to upload a higher quality image if my current one doesn’t look so great.

Well I changed my favicon based gravataar to a photo… just for this. (And yes the post is a test.

Looks like best results come from uploading a 512×512 image.
Any way you could (without violating your privacy policy) automatically e-mail any WordCamp attendees who don’t have a 512×512 Gravatar? For instance, Joseph, your Gravatar is an old 80×80 one, so it looks like a mosaic at 512×512.

You’re so darn cool, Andy! Great idea!

No WordCamp for me, but great idea, and glad to hear about the jump to 512px!
DeL // August 6, 2008 at 4:06 pm
yeah it will be cool , can’t wait to hear your tutorial on this gravatar
Andy // August 6, 2008 at 4:25 pm
@Joseph: I’ve come up with a new avatar checker so you can see what your badge will look like.
Andrea // August 6, 2008 at 5:54 pm
Dang, I wish I could be there. I think this is a brilliant idea, especially since personally I can’t remember names very well, but I instantly remember faces – or in this case, people’s gravatars.
moneymingle // August 6, 2008 at 7:06 pm
Hopefully will be recorded! I think many avatars can become a part of your overall branding strategy.
Mark Jaquith // August 6, 2008 at 8:04 pm
Why isn’t mine working? I have a Gravatar set up for my PayPal address but it’s showing as an Identicon. I created the PayPal address Gravatar after registering. Are you using some sort of caching system?
Mark Jaquith // August 6, 2008 at 8:07 pm
Ah, because it’s not using the PayPal e-mail address, but the one provided in the registration form. Good to know!

Damn, WordCamp San Francisco is the grand daddy of all WordCamps. Really wish I could attend this event but alas, I’ll have to wait till next year maybe.

Mostly Lisa // August 7, 2008 at 5:41 am
i got a gravatar like a year ago when it was cool to like, universally identify yourself on the interweb. now, i’d like to be addressed as the skype emoticon combo (emo) + (poolparty). i’m just waiting for the rest of the www to step in line.
