The best way to predict the future is to create it. – Peter Drucker
The OpenPhoto Project was born out of a desire to provide tools to enable users to capture, organize, share and enjoy their photos without giving up any ownership and control. We started in July of 2011 and one year later have lots of watchers on Github, a web application you can install yourself or sign up to use and apps for mobile devices.
The intention of OpenPhoto has always been to have mainstream appeal. That’s not easy to do when you’re building everything as open source software. In the past year we’ve had a lot of ups and a lot of downs but we’ve remained focused on the original vision.
The Shuttleworth Foundation
Today we’re excited to announce that Jaisen was awarded a fellowship from The Shuttleworth Foundation. Excited is actually an understatement.
The fellowship will allow us to dedicate much needed resources to OpenPhoto and continue focusing on building out the vision we set out on over a year ago. There’s still a lot left to do and we’ll be blogging and tweeting about our plans and progress.
Thanks – The OpenPhoto Team
