Media policy

Note: The word "Drupal" and the wordmark logo are registered trademarks of Dries Buytaert. For the Drupal wordmark, please view the usage guidelines on Drupal.com.

The event logo is a key building block of the visual identity of an event, and is the primary visual element that identifies Drupal Europe. You can find the approved version below. We invite you to take the logo and work it in to your own designs during Drupal Europe, but we do ask that you use the logo respectfully and comply with the Code of conduct.

When you agree to speak at Drupal Europe, you consent for your talk to be recorded in audio and possibly video format. Please review the Speaker Agreement for further details about speaking at DrupalCon.

We reserve the right to publicly distribute and publish these recordings under the Creative Commons Attribution 3.0 license.

Your session material, including content and recordings may be used in various promotions or for other related endeavors. This material may also appear on the Drupal Association's and any European Drupal association's web site, social media channels or other digital mediums controlled by members of Drupal Europe's organizational team.

Staff and attendee photography

Drupal Europe is a fun and visual event and we love to share it with the world via pictures and video. What makes pictures and video interesting? People!

We also know that not everyone wants to be photographed.

You will likely see a staff member or someone who works with us taking pictures and/or video at the event. When possible – for example when photographing a person or small group – we will get verbal permission from those being photographed. When photographing larger settings like the keynotes or the exhibit floor, it may be difficult or impossible to get everyone’s permission.

We will do our very best to be respectful of every attendee’s wishes. We also encourage attendees to take and share their own photographs, as long as the rules below are followed:

1. If someone asks not to be photographed, please stop photographing them and don’t attempt to do it again. Simple!
2. Photography/video recording should not be done in a way that it is deliberately hidden from the subjects being photographed/recorded.
3. Those taking photographs and/or video must adhere to the event Code of conduct.

Venue's house rules

The Darmstadtium has a slightly different policy regarding photography and protection of image rights in its house rules. We have addressed this with our hosts and they will respect our opt-out solution but they still want professional photographers to fill in a form at the registration desk.

Please note that we are using Darmstadtium's photography with their graceful permission. Architecture in itself is subject to copyrights in Germany. Before publishing a beautiful shot of the building itself (under a free license or not) please ask Darmstadtium's contacts for permission, thank you.

How to opt out

If you do not wish images of yourself to be published, you may opt out and best efforts will be done to accommodate your request.

For the time being we are evaluating different possible solutions (e. g. lanyard colors, wristbands). Please come back to find out what your opt out options eventually are.

Thank you to Open Source Bridge, from whom this media policy was heavily influenced. Thank you to the Drupal Association for adapting that policy for DrupalCon.

Thank you and have fun!
