[evergreen-outreach] Proper attribution for community photos

[Kathy Lussier]

Good afternoon Outreach Committee!

I don't know the best place to ask this question, so I'll start with the
knowledgeable folks on this list. In my conference presentation, I plan to
incorporate some of the conference and hack-a-way photos that have been
posted to Evergreen social media sites, but only those that have been
posted since the adoption of the community photography policy. I have also
used a few of these in recent blog posts. Although people have already
provided some form of permission through the use of lanyards at these
events, I plan to reach out to folks to allow an opt out just to be sure
they're comfortable with the use of these photos in my talk.

My question is about the proper attribution for these photos. According to
the photography policy, "If the Evergreen Project Board, or the Evergreen
Conference Planning Committee chooses to publish photographs and recordings
taken by event staff, we will publish them under a Creative Commons
license."

I am very disappointed in the vague language that the original author used
here and think the only recourse is to ensure that person never attends
another Evergreen social event, particularly those involving karaoke.

In any case, which Creative Commons license should I use here? Would it be
safe to assume that we're talking about CC BY-SA since it most closely
resembles  GNU GPL? If so, would it be 2.0 or 4.0? Or should we not assume?
Should the community update the policy to be a little clearer on this point?

Kathy
