Hi everyone, At our last meeting[0] we discussed and agreed upon the proposal to keep copies of our images in a directory on the server (probably tar.gz) under our control, as well as a copy up on Yahoo!'s Flickr or Google's PicasaWeb for display and social media integration (global event tagging, loco.ubuntu.com support, etc).
Now it's time to decide which service to use. I don't have a strong preference either way (I personally use Flickr, but I also have a considerable amount of data with various Google services), but it is worth noting: Access: Both services have APIs and support uploading via f-spot or shotwell (and presumably there are other programs which do as well, since the API exists). Cost: The free Flickr account has a monthly limit for uploads and how many photos can be displayed at a time, unless you pay a small yearly fee if you want unlimited space, Picasa uses shared gmail space for approx 7.5G before you need to pay small amounts for space increases. The costs for these are small and raising donations won't be a problem (I'm even willing to go out of pocket myself on these). Social Media: Tagging and sharing controls differ between the services, and I haven't looked into this. It's probably worthwhile to do so. Other thoughts? Preferences? Thanks everyone.
