[TheForge] Disposable cameras

[Ben Barrett]

Agreed.
Maybe a collection point for the digital photos that folks are willing

both a laptop or PC station at the event, and an online resource to upload them,
where they can be collectively organized.  Hopefully people would remember and
annotate with who or what the shot is of/about :)
