Is "taking official event photos" an available option when asking for
travel sponsorship? If yes, it really needs to be advertised more. That
would make it more unlikely that we would be missing crucial photos for the
annual report.
It isn't at the moment, but I don't think we need to require people to
take photos, especially as some may not be comfortable with the
obligation, or to offer it as a reason for a sponsorship request.
My experience is that there is generally plenty of people taking
photos, but some of whom are not aware of the importance of using a
suitable licence or tagging photos appropriately. I think that it is
best practice for hackfest organisers to ask the hackfest attendees to
blog and upload photos at the start of each hackfest. For example, you
can find a whole bunch of GNOME.Asia 2014 photos at
https://www.flickr.com/groups/gnomeasia2014/pool/ which are CC
licensed.

Sorry, I totally forgot to reply to this. The main reasons I went for
our ownCloud instance were:
* It allows the Engagement Team to collaborate on curating the sets of
images.
* We can use it to keep our own copy of photos, in case they
disappear off the internet.
* It means that the images can be stored alongside other team assets,
such as merchandise designs, screenshots, dummy content, and archives.
That said, I'm not dead against using another service.
Perhaps we could mirror one to the other? We'll still need a private
repo for images that we may not want to share with the rest of the
world either because the author may have given their permission only
for use by the GNOME Project or some other restriction.
