I have been told that we must wait on release forms from RH Legal before
we upload pictures to the wiki. The temporary release forms we got from
spot for FUDCon were for that specific FUDCon only -- also what I've
been told.

I hate to see how we're mostly blocking on this too for pictorial
content but as Paul said later down this thread they're getting on
Legal. I trust that they'll have them done soon.

I also agree that a generic release form under the CLA would be
wonderous. However I am not The Powers That Be.  :)
