Today we’re announcing some upcoming changes to our Terms of Service that will help us continue to preserve the art, expression, history, stories, and memories of all Flickr members for the next hundred years. So we joined forces with SmugMug, and we’re all the stronger for it. In the meantime, check out the Blog for updates on the second shoot.When Flickr was acquired by SmugMug in 2018, it was a mission of preservation: our tens of billions of photos, hundreds of millions of photographers, and millions of thriving communities were coming dangerously close to not existing online, and that was unacceptable.
If you have any inquiries about the photo shoot or if you would like your company to host our next photo shoot, send us an email: hello(at)wocintechchat(dot)com. Thank you to the amazing individuals that participated in the photo shoot in September, to the NYC startup that hosted us, and to our photographer and fellow techie Mike Ngo. Just as white women have been the default “woman” in technology and American society as a whole, we believe the underlying belief of what it means to be - and who can be - a tech worker in the 21st century can benefit from this form of “disruption”. That you use these images in pieces about entrepreneurs, software engineers, infosec professionals, IT analysts, marketers, and other people who make up the tech ecosystem.
Our ask? That you use these photos to show a different representation of all women in tech.
Otherwise, you are free to use them as you wish. This means that you may copy, distribute, and display the images as long as you attribute #WOCinTech Chat. We’re excited to announce that the first batch of #WOCinTech photos are available under a Creative Commons (Attribution) license. Earlier this month, we published a blog post where we discussed the problem of not having visible representations of women of color engaging in technical tasks in stock images.
