Re: GUADEC registration site - design improvements

Hey,

the age groups were simply what felt sensible to me. That said, it
seems sane to me to have something that lies outside normal retirement
ages.

We only had 2 people selecting ">= 50" last year, so adding it is
mostly for completeness sake.

Asking for the exact age just didn't seem to add anything and I
strongly believe that one should never collect data if one doesn't have
any immediate use for it.
