[Women-of-openstack] Speed Mentoring update

Folks -

I agree we should take sign ups in advance, but announce at the 
conference that we are taking walk-ins.  That way people will not sign 
up and just assume that they will be able to walk in.  I would encourage 
us to do the registration greeting thing and tell them that they can 
sign-up/walk in then.
