Re: Reminder | GNOME Engagement Meeting Tuesday, May 29th (and my regrets)
Hi, GUADEC is coming closer, and work has picked up again. There are a few things that we need to announce (some of it will also be announced via personal blogs AFAIK). From the top of my head: * People need to book accommodation, there is a wiki page to coordinate room sharing https://wiki.gnome.org/GUADEC/2018/Accommodation * A rough schedule is almost there https://2018.guadec.org/pages/schedule.html * Registration will open later this week Benjamin On Mon, 2018-05-28 at 22:07 -0700, Nuritzi Sanchez wrote: > Hi All, > > This is a quick reminder about the > GNOME Engagement team meeting on Tuesday, 2018-05-29 (May > 29th) at 15:30 UTC. > > At that time, join the #engagement channel and join us via voice > call.

It is all CC-BY-SA 3.0. But that is incompatible with CC-BY 3.0 which youtube uses, so I am not going to mark them as CC (it is obvious from the videos as it is shown at the start of each). Anyway, all 19 videos are now on the GUADEC channel. I tried to put in the correct date where available, but couldn't find it for two of the talks. https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLkmRdYgttscGHGmHn0M4U3rRA7q-nQ2OU I did double check that the title/description is all there, so I think everything should be good. Main thing missing are the two videos that you still have. Benjamin ___ engagement-list mailing list engagement-list@gnome.org https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/engagement-list

Thanks for finding the mail. It does look like some or all of the videos have a license rendered into them.

Hi, People with access right now are Alberto and myself, as far as I know.

I am uploading them again right now. Will need some time to copy all the metadata so please keep them available for now. Do you remember the license so that they can be correctly tagged? Or should they remain non-free/"Standard Youtube License"? > - the Engagement and FTP teams to look into where those videos > disappeared Pinged on #sysadmin, lets see if someone knows what happens. > - somebody to tell me where I should upload the 2 videos I still have > here (a talk from Jon and another from me). What is the simplest solution? The easiest might be if I give you the password for the guadec youtube account. Or I can upload them if you make them available to me somewhere. > I don't have any "original" files any more. All those videos were on > Google Videos at the time... Too bad, that might have been useful. Benjamin ___ engagement-list mailing list engagement-list@gnome.org https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/engagement-list
Re: GUADEC 2016 pictures
Hey,
I forgot to say this earlier (hat planned to mention it during the
opening).
In German law people have a right to their own picture. This means
that–unless certain conditions are met–it is not legal to publish the
picture of any person without their consent (distribute or show
publicly). Note that this can only be persecuted if the person in
question files a complaint. In the worst case it can be punished with
up to one year in prison or a corresponding fine.
As I understand it, things like the group photo are not an issue (one,
it is a gathering, two it is something historic, three it is common
knowledge that it is used for publication). Also publishing a picture
of a speaker while speaking or people surrounding the GNOME birthday
cake should be entirely fine.
But if you happened to make random photos of attendees or someone in
the city then making these photos available to the public is likely
*not* permitted by German law (as far as I know it is generally legal
to make them and show them to people in private).
In practice most people do not seem to really care about it. However, I
do think that it is generally a good idea to ask people for their
consent before circulating a picture.
Anyway, I am not a lawyer …
Benjamin
PS: Trying to translate the main section about it from the law, the
following exceptions apply:
* images that show contemporary history (Zeitgeschehen)
* person is not relevant for the picture (e.g. photographing a
building and someone happens to stand around in front)
* images of marches, gatherings, and similar happenings ("ähnliche
Vorgänge") if the person was part of them
* if the image is not commissioned and it is a piece of art
Which again has the exception that a persons "rightful concern" (or
"interest"?) must not be violated (I am not sure how to translate it,
but I think that a pretty obvious case is if the photo is humiliating
for some reason).
There are also other sections of the law which are relevant. In the end
it seems to be a pretty complicated assessment by the courts after
someone has actually filed a complaint.
