Hi! it has been pointed out to me that there *is* a photo policy for DebConf within the code of conduct. However, today I had to explicitly ask somebody to refrain from taking pictures of me within a non recorded BoF, namely the privacy BoF, and this person was being aggressive towards me when being asked. Anti-harassment has discussed with the person about that particular case, so I don't need to discuss this here. However I would like to make it clearer at future DebConfs that this is not okay. It seems like people don't read the code of conduct before entering the conference. At IETF, because of a similar issue, a photo policy was introduced which gives everybody the possibility to show their willingness to be photographed by choosing a lanyard of a certain color (https://www.ietf.org/blog/ietf-meeting-photography-policy/). I would like to see a similar policy for Debian meetings. This will allow attendees to opt in if they wish to do so. You might want to contact people at IETF for more information and positive response to that policy. If necessary, I can try to find a contact person. Cheers, Ulrike
