IMHO (but then I’m not a lawyer, and esp. a German lawyer with regards to this meeting), hotel function rooms are public places, and you’re in as much danger of having your photo taken and published as you are in any other public place, such as on the street. How can newspapers publish crowd shots if they need permission of everyone in the photo?
Cheers,

Hi,
in the Hackathon there are a lot of pictures taken. A statement was made that if you didn't want pictures of yourself published, please talk to the organizers.
We have an IETF Note Well: https://www.ietf.org/about/note-well.html
It doesn't mention pictures, and it doesn't mention just being in the room, is that is a "statement" or "communication" according to the note well. It also doesn't list the Hackathon as a function (it's not a WG or BoF, right?)
So does the Note Well as written today mean that it's ok to publish pictures of you for just being on the premesis? I think it should be, but do we then need to augment the Note Well?
