i think it would be kind of cool if the photos were just in a directory (<a href="http://ubuntucalifornia.org/photos/date">ubuntucalifornia.org/photos/date</a> ?), but i realize browsing the photos would be something of a challenge (afaik). perhaps someone that is interested in viewing photos could use wget to just download them to a local folder then do what they wish? <br>

</div>I like Flickr cause it's easy and when I'm looking for a photo of<br>
something then I can probably find it there. I can send photos from my<br>
phone easily which is great for the time crunched. However, I'd be<br>
uploading to my account, so if you wanted an easy way to see all<br>
photos taken at events, there'd have to be a group or tag shared.<br>
Right?<br>

</div>That could be a good long term solution. We all upload our photos to<br>
Flickr or Picasa so that it shows up on <a href="http://loco.ubuntu.com" target="_blank">loco.ubuntu.com</a> and<br>
then upload the nicest ones to Gallery2. That way, it's not too much<br>
duplication of effort if someone took a lot of photos.<br>
<br>
Also, open source is good. Dogfood. All that.<br>

</div>I have tried a lot of different WordPress plugins. I liked NextGen<br>
(<a href="http://nextgen-gallery.com/templates/galleryview/" target="_blank">http://nextgen-gallery.com/templates/galleryview/</a> ) and lightbox type<br>
stuff.<br>
<br>
Here is a nice list of lots of options:<br>

<br>
Could even pull from flickr and/or picasa though having our own copy<br>
is nice because of reasons Lyz already mentioned.<br>
