I thought the part where this task is opened for everyone to view was implicit in my earlier statement (if there is no sensitive content, as I said). I personally think this problem deserves a task of its own, and the idea to have a task for this on the promo board was not mine alone, but rather suggested by Paul. > > Anyways, after some discussions with Paul, I think we have a solution > for future events. > > The Photos folder on share.kde.org currently hosts photographs for > Promo sprint (Barcelona,2018), Akademy (Vienna,2018), FOSDEM (Brussels, > 2019) and this year's conf.kde.in (Delhi). > > share.kde.org also has good support in terms of user access control- > users can be limited to adding new photographs, but not deleting any > already uploaded files.

I believe KDE events make use of events.kde.org and reimbursements.kde.org infrastructure that both require an identity to be able to register for an event and/ or ask for any reimbursements respectively. Does that leave any possible uploaders? Best Piyush Aggarwal
