[Scale-planning] Expo Pass

[Anthony Chow]

I was passing out the SCALEx15 t-shirt  at the Expo Hall on Saturday.
There was a lady who wanted a T-shirt but she does not even have a badge.
Wonder how she could get into the Expo Hall.

I think color code the badge for Full Conference and Expo Hall Only is a
good start.  This may not fix the problem entirely but we can apply the
Defence-in-Depth principle to this problem i.e. this will help some what.

Anthony.
