Re: How to archive photos?

[Cassandra Sanchez <cassandra s 18 gmail com>]

Hi Allan,

First of all, so sorry for taking so long to get back to you. I've had a very busy last couple of weeks.

I currently have been storing all of the photos here: https://cloud.gnome.org/index.php/s/bGcGPttHVDcw0dQ

The photos are each named with the licensing information to make sure that everything is accounted for and useable. I think it'd be a great idea to have another place to store the licensing information. Maybe in an EtherCalc?

As for my process in gathering these photos... I started off with a list of people that typically take photos at events, and sent them emails or private messages on social media (i.e. Facebook & Flickr). The message was something like this:

"Hey,

My name is Cassandra and I'm new to the engagement team this year!

I've been told that you usually take photos at GNOME events, and I'm writing to see if you could please take photos during this release, and then submit them to the engagement team. Also, if you have any from past events, we'd really appreciate that too! We have a number of initiatives, like the Annual Report, in which we would love to showcase photos of the community getting together and having fun.

You can send any photos you take via email to photosofgnome gmail com and add a note letting us know that it's ok to use these. We'd love to use it either under "CC-BY-SA [your name]" or "courtesty of [your name]", but there are other licensing options you can learn about here: https://creativecommons.org/licenses/.

Thanks!"

I then uploaded the photos that they shared to that OwnCloud folder (link above).

We also tried gathering photos by requesting picture submissions via social media (i.e. twitter, Facebook, reddit, g+). Unfortunately nobody responded or submitted photos.

Please let me know if any other questions come up :)

Best,

Cassandra

Hi all,

I've been trying to work out how to store photos of GNOME events to
reuse in the future.

Often photos won't be published online under a free licence, but will
be provided to us directly. Legally, I suspect that the photo creator
needs to publicly state that they are providing the photos under a
particular licence, but I don't know how to allow them to do that.

Does anyone have any ideas?

Allan
