a little picture I am a South Jersey Friend and dad with a love out of outreach and a passion for looking afresh at Friends' testimonies, language and practices. I am the publisher of Quaker Quaker, a community site for Friends, and write about online publicity, organizing and design on my business site at MartinKelley.com.

Sharing our Quaker event photos

Over on the photo sharing service Flickr, I'm noticing a bunch of photos from this week's Britain Yearly Meeting session. One contributor has tagged (labelled) all her photos with "britainyearlymeeting06" which means they're all available on one page. Cool, but what would be even cooler is if every Flickr user at the event used the same tag. We'd then have a nearly real-time group photo essay of the yearly meeting sessions.

So this year I'm going to tag all my personal photos from next month's Friends General Conference Gathering of Friends as "FGCgathering06". I invite any other Flickr-using attenders to do the same. While I do work at FGC, please note this is not any sort of official FGC decision, it's just my own idea to share photos and to see how we can use these online networks to share and promote Quakerism. In a few weeks you'll start seeing entries via flickr and technorati. I'll probably start with a few pictures of the bookstore truck being loaded for its cross-country trek.

If your blogging system doesn't support the use of tags, then simply add this line in the bottom of each of your Gathering-related posts:

<a href="http://technorati.com/tag/FGCgathering06" rel="tag">FGCgathering06</a>
