Hey,
First of all, the summit and the conference need an announcement mailing list. That's basically an official SPAM list where you put people on who are interested (just a box on the website where they enter their mail address, no actual registration in indico needed) and who are registered. Why don't you use mailchimp or some similar service for spam lists? :) They are great for sending out info and can even integrate with our RSS feeds, you can track returns, have nice multipart mails, wordpress

Looking at mailchimp :D created an account, been playing with it. It's not horrible, but quite a bit more complicated than just a mail address... And it's hard to manage it with several people, it seems. Moreover, I can't just add people automatically to this (people who register should be subscribed without a confirmation mail send to them). It's OK-ish, just - mailing list is simpler... Why go for another tool if we can just use our own, familiar stuff?
Then, both conferences should idealy have a opensuse-X-participant list.
Whats wrong with using the general conf/summit list for this?
The one we use to plan our conference? not sure if we want that list suddenly get flooded with stuff like "is anyone traveling on day X"... I like Bryen's suggestion to use a wiki more.
