Don't require login to view qrcode

* The qrcode contains no information that isn't in the URL you used to
access the code, so information is being leaked
* Allowing unauthenicated access lets people see the image in their
mail client

Not ideal. Let's revert this later and think of something better next
year - perhaps spending some more time researching best practices on
images in email..

Speaker App
===========

The ``speaker`` app allows speakers to set up their profile, prior to or as
part of the proposal submission phase. The **dashboard** is the means through
which speakers manage their own profiles.

We are planning to make the Speaker model more pluggable so, if you have
particular fields you'd like your speakers to fill out, you'll be able to
customize things more easily.

Additional Speakers
-------------------

Because ``symposion`` supports additional speakers being attached to a
proposal or actual presentation, it has the notion of a ``Speaker`` that is
not yet a ``User`` on the site. For this reason, a ``Speaker`` may have a
NULL ``user`` field (hopefully temporarily) as well as an ``invite_email``
and ``invite_token`` field for the invitation sent to the additional speaker
to join.
