There were slots for 10 five minutes speeches planned but not enough people volunteering fro speeches.
I thought that there would be so many people, that I didn’t volunteer (by the time Gunnar’s speech was over I had outlines for 3 interesting speeches, though one of them would likely be too inside of the topic for our public).
The formal legal default in Germany is that it’s not allowed to make photos of people without their consent.
I asked some people, others were delighted when I took those photos (so I assumed consent), others still also thought it pity to have so few photos. But I didn’t consider the legal side. Do you think I should take those photos down? I don’t think I asked everyone I photographed.
And BTW, they are low resolution, so if someone wishes a higher quality pic of their own face, PM me please.
I don’t think the person who went outside of the room for the group photo is clearly visible on one of your photos, so I don’t expect there to be a practical problem with the photos that’s you posted.
On the other hand going forward I would want to have a system that allows people to clearly signal that the don’t want to have photos taken of themselves.
From the LessWrong regulars, if gwern would attend a meetup I would guess that he would be uncomfortable with photos of him afterwards being available online.
While being a toastmaster I remember having a board member of my local toastmasters club who didn’t want picture of him on the internet because he had a public persona as a musician and didn’t want the information of being in a toastmasters club associated with that persona.
