ApacheCon Request: Please take a lot of photographs
For those bringing cameras to ApacheCon, could I ask you to take
photographs in the following topics, for future AOO marketing, website
and social media use:
- photos of speakers, either during their presentation or before/after
their talk.
- audience photographs
- photographs of project members talking informally, at the conference
or at social gatherings
- photographs of computer screens running AOO, or looking at AOO source code
- location shots that give a sense of the place, e.g., showing
ApacheCon logo or AOO logo.
Be creative and have fun! I wish I could be there.
Thanks,
-Rob

I'm no lawyer, so I know no details. In case of taken a picture of
speakers, I would simple ask them to agree to be shown.

Does this depend on the fact that the photo was taken in Germany? I
believe our website is in the US. Certainly Apache is a US-based
organization.
Under our laws, non-commercial, editorial use of photographs
containing identifiable people is fine, with a few exceptions.
Of course, we should respect the wishes of those in photographs,
regardless of whether applicable laws require it or not.

Please keep in mind, that you need the permission of the persons, if you
make the picture available on a website. In Germany that is mandatory
and only in case of "Personen der Zeitgeschichte" such permission is not
needed.
