Comment (by dd32):

 FWIW I like the idea of a Volunteer badge, but for all the reasons
 outlined above I don't feel an Attendee badge is viable.

 Replying to [comment:9 hlashbrooke]:
 > There is definitely room for a WordCamp Volunteer badge though - the
 main blocker to making that a possibility is having a realistic and
 reliable way of tracking who is volunteering at a WordCamp (and actually
 showing up for the work they have committed to doing. If we can work that
 out, then we can certainly look at adding a new badge for it.

 I think some WordCamps have re-used the organiser post-type for that, and
 it's teams functionality to differentiate between Organisers / Volunteers
 / Speaker Wranglers (which is a cross-over between Volunteers and
 Organisers for example).

 Another option is that the `Admin Flags` get enabled for all sites by
 default with some default types, Organiser/Speaker/Sponsor/Volunteer but
 then we've still got the issue of matching an Attendee -> WordPress.org
 user.
