What people are sayinghttps://twitter.com/OpenPhoto/favorites

Your photos can be...aggregated, backed up and organized...

without giving up control or portability.

The OpenPhoto Project✦ Started in June of 2011✦ Raised $25,000 on Kickstarter✦ Open sourced on Github✦ Officially part of Mozilla’s WebFWD program

Imagine if...✦ You could use a photo service as good as Flickr

✦ You didn’t have to store your photos at Yahoo!

✦ You had a choice of where your photos are stored

Imagine if...✦ You could sign up for a hosted service

✦ You could install the software yourself

✦ All this was portable

How’s it look?

What About Mobile?✦ iPhone and Android app is complete and waiting to

be launched in the App Store

✦ Both are available on Githubhttps://github.com/openphoto/mobile-ioshttps://github.com/openphoto/mobile-android

A Sneak Peak

Project goals✦ Tools to aggregate, organize and backup photos✦ Obsess over the user experience and interface✦ Embrace the programmable web✦ Provide bindings for every popular language✦ Reach critical mass, including your mom

How we’re doing it✦ Decoupling the data from the application✦ Let users supply personal Dropbox or S3 accounts✦ Giving ownership of the data to the user✦ Decentralizing the hosting✦ Federating nodes✦ Open platform documentation

Installing OpenPhoto✦ Instructions at

http://theopenphotoproject.org/documentation

✦ Amazon AMIs available

✦ Shell script can be executed to set up the entire system

✦ Use cloud services or local filesystem and MySql

The Hosted Version✦ The lazy man’s friend

✦ You can still connect to your Dropbox or S3

✦ If you change your mind and want to host yourself you simply point to your S3 bucket

✦ Automatic upgrades and other convenient features

The API & Dogfooding✦ Everything that’s been built has exclusively used the

API

✦ Webhook / Event API to build realtime applications

✦ Consistent and documented

Using the API✦ Language bindings in PHP, Ruby, Python and Java

✦ Coming soon C# and Objective-C

✦ Language bindings include command line API program

An example of using the API✦ Gist to upload every photo in a directory

What’s Next?✦ Plugins for iPhoto, Aperture, Shotwell, etc.
