Hi Piyush For Akademy we have been trying to collect peoples public albums of photos for a while https://community.kde.org/Events/Akademy/2010/Pictures ... https://community.kde.org/Akademy/2019/Photos However there has never been a huge uptake by attendees to add their photos which is a shame, of course not everyone would want to It would be interesting to know if having a central KDE place would encourage more people to add theirs. For Akademy we have wondered about that before -- Kenny (Pronouns: he/him)
