Austin Improv

If you were at See. Hear. Speak. 2 and you took photos or video, I'd love to get copies. I want to make sure that CTT has a lot of stuff to draw from next year when promoting the festival (we didn't have a lot of legacy photos from s.h.s.1 to utilize).

I have photos from Hear and Speak nights and video as well (that is a long way from being processed, however). But if other people have more, please send them to me at wes at pgraph dot com or hand me a CD when you see me.

Also, I will try to find a place online to place the photos, so you can go grab them if you were in one of the performances.
(Do we still have photo storage space on the AIC server? I can't remember how to get there anymore.)

Thanks!

I've got storage to spare right now in my monthly flickr allotment, you wanna use that.

I don't mind short-term, but I want to start compiling and keeping AIC resources in AIC accounts and permanent storage solutions.

Things are too spread out right now, which was part of our problem in finding pictures from s.h.s.1 (afterward I had 3 or 4 people approach me saying they had pictures online, but without a central location we never found them). But, so that people can just get pictures of themselves from this year, I may take you up on it.

Yes, I totally agree that there needs to be a consistent repository. The more I use Flickr, the more I support using it for such a thing.

Several reasons:

1) Flickr is high profile in terms of galleries online. And more and more services each day interoperate with it. For instance, tagging a photo with "austinist" will cause it to appear on austinist.com as the "latest photo".
2) Flickr automatically makes several sizes of images when they're uploaded, which is exceedingly useful for using images online
3) Flickr supports tagging. so even if we spread images across multiple accounts, a search for seehearspeak2 will turn them all up quite easily if we tag them all thusly.
Check out what this search for Coldtowne dredges up:

4) Flickr is cheapish. 25 bucks a year, so it may be worth the AIC's investment in a yearly account.

Obviously this only works if we make a concerted effort to put the images up on Flickr.

If there is not already a solution in place I am unaware of, I officially propose this be a conversation at the next General Body Meeting.

It's weird. I only see the photos, wiki and calendar link if I use the "subsilver" theme.

Looks like a job for Captain Bob Forums!
