Re: [Debconf-discuss] pictures and privacy
Hi,
I must admit, I'm quite annoyed about this discussion. DebConf is a
conference and therefore a public event, so WTF?

I fear that, too, and it would be very sad and quite a loss for
DebConf, especially also for those who couldn't attend.

Yeah, and nearly all photos with people on it are very innocent. And
for those few which are not, asking the people on the picture is not a
burden. But having to ask _all_ would be.
