They&#8217;re apparently in the process of re-doing all their brochures and such, and liked what they&#8217;d seen on Flickr.<\/p>\n<p>As a result I&#8217;ve spent a very pleasant few days back at Dagstuhl in some <em>gorgeous<\/em> spring weather (I&#8217;ve only every been here in the winter before), enjoying the company of a fine group studying the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.dagstuhl.de\/en\/program\/calendar\/semhp\/?semnr=08201\">Design and Analysis of Randomized and Approximation Algorithms<\/a>.  (They&#8217;ve been very patient with an intruder who always seemed to be waving a camera about, and for this I am grateful.)<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;ve taken something over 1,000 photos, with a few more planned for tomorrow morning before I leave.  Some of the participants have asked if the photos will be made available.  I have uploaded everything I&#8217;ve taken this week to my &#8220;events&#8221; account on Flickr, all under a <a href=\"http:\/\/CreativeCommons.org\/\">Creative Commons<\/a> license, which means that participants are welcome to download and use any that they wish, as long as they provide attribution.  (Note that I am not, and can not, provide any sort of permissions from individuals photographed &#8211; that&#8217;s their right and prerogative.  If you want to use someone here in a beer ad, you need to get their permission first.)<\/p>\n<p>Where are they all?<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Everything I&#8217;ve taken this week is <a href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/nics_events\/collections\/72157605047920566\/\">on my &#8220;events&#8221; account<\/a>.<\/li>\n<li>I also have <a href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/nicmcphee\/sets\/72057594069705015\/\">a Dagstuhl set on my &#8220;real&#8221; Flickr account<\/a> that has some of my favorites (with cleaning, cropping, etc.) from my various visits to Dagstuhl.  At the moment this set is heavy on shots from previous trips, but I hope to add more from this visit as time allows.<\/li>\n<li>Earlier this year <a href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/nics_events\/collections\/72157603825525213\/\">I posted everything<\/a> (without cleaning or editing) from the Jan\/Feb seminar on Evolutionary Algorithms to my &#8220;events&#8221; account.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>It&#8217;s not yet clear what all Dagstuhl may do with these, but they will contact anyone who is recognizable in a photograph for permission before using your image in any of their materials.  If anyone objects to being included in these vast oceans of photos, please let me know and I&#8217;d be happy to remove the photo in question.<\/p>\n<p>Thanks again to Christian for inviting me out to Dagstuhl, and to the Randomized and Approximate Algorithms group for being patient &#8220;hosts&#8221;.
