[TheForge] Disposable cameras

[Grover Richardson]

A multicard reader is about $20.  That way a person doesn't have to worry
about interfaces to many different model of cameras.

Something that has been brought up at other events is to have a computer
that just runs through a slide show of pictures of previous events.  In this
case, the computer could slide show pictures uploaded the day before (or
however often someone gets time to update the files).

Just an idea.

All the Best

Agreed.
Maybe a collection point for the digital photos that folks are willing
to share --
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 :)
