Conference passport warning

You Need a Passport to get to the British Isles | www.kdedevelopers.org

Jonathan Riddell with a timely warning for anyone who wants to attend the conferences which are taking place in the UK this year, among them Debconf, Akademy, Guadec and Python UK: you need a passport or national identity card to enter the UK, and this includes EU citizens. You cannot enter (or leave, if they check) the UK with a photo driving licence, for example, and the UK is not a signatory to the Schengen agreement, which allows passport-free movement within the area.
