Share your DWeb Camp photos with the community
Hi DWeb Campers,
We hope you're still basking in the excitement of DWeb Camp. We were thrilled to experience so many amazing moments in the redwoods, and we'd love to share them with everyone.
Unfortunately, our official photographer, Brad, encountered a technical issue and lost a significant portion of the wide-angle photos he took – approximately 2000 out of 3000, including the group photo. To help fill this gap we're turning to you, our community, to crowdsource photos from the event.
In the meantime, we've managed to save some of the photos and have uploaded them to the Internet Archive. You can check out what we have so far at the following links: - https://archive.org/details/2024-dweb-camp-images - https://archive.org/details/2024-dweb-camp-002-images - https://archive.org/details/2024-dweb-camp-03a-images - https://archive.org/details/2024-dweb-camp-004-images
We'd love to add your photos to this collection! If you have photos from DWeb Camp that you'd like to share, please follow these steps:
- Gather your photos and store them in a file-sharing platform of your choice (e.g., Google Drive, Dropbox, etc.).
- Send a link to the stored photos to our archivist, Nick, m.nick@archive.org
- Provide your name and a brief description of the photos.
- Confirm that you consent to licensing your photos under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 4.0 (CC BY-SA 4.0) license.
We’ll then upload and add them as photobooks to the DWeb Camp 2024 collection. By sharing your photos, you'll help us create a comprehensive and vibrant archive of the magic that happened at DWeb Camp. We're grateful for your contributions and look forward to seeing your photos!
