A better way, though, would be to signal with a brightly colored and reflective lanyard (for which we would pay more, but would make things much easier for all). Yes, that makes people with those lanyards be more visible in "meatspace", and in photos made by people not caring for our social norms, but we will not prevent that anyway. People not wanting to be on photos will need to make it visible to others. They need me to link their face to their preference (so that I don't target them while at the bar). I don't believe it is asking too much to ask them to make their preference visible. They are, anyway, protecting their privacy *from the internet*, not from us colleagues in meatspace. We should, as you mention being proud of the social aspects in our project. But I do feel strongly the "no photo" group should be opt-in (and not the "photos OK" group). I don't have numbers for DC14 (and it seems that the field was useless for DC7-13 — Pentabarf shows 100% for "true" in photo_or_film_ok), but I was quite visibly taking photos, and only one person requested me to delete a photo. And yes, I know many might have shied away from bugging me (please do!) but I'm sure a strong majority with no issues still holds. And anyway, the historic memory value we get from having photos from the conference is IMO quite high. _______________________________________________ Debconf-discuss mailing list Debconf-discuss@lists.debconf.org http://lists.debconf.org/mailman/listinfo/debconf-discuss
