Yes. In the end, the release is there to protect the photographer
from risk, when they put the photograph to use in a product or
publication. Because our subjects are all friends of ours, the
licensing of the photos is clear, and there is no sale involved, the
risk is extremely low. And if anyone wants their photo removed at any
time, of course we would comply immediately.
As long as the people in the pictures are not minors, and have signed
the CLA, we should not need to worry about releases.
Would it be useful to have [[Fedora_photos_guidelines]] or something
to that effect on the wiki? It seems like something we might refer to
often, or is a question that comes up often.
Covering basically:
* What is the best license for my photos so they can be used by the
Fedora Project
* If pictures are used for publication - or if I have a publication
that needs pictures - how do I go about getting a release form, where
does it get stored, etc.
* Guidelines for who are recommended subjects (friends), no minors, etc
Thoughts?

PS This may already exist... I just didn't see it, although
admittedly, I didn't look very hard :)
