I saw a demo site
running OpenPhoto a while back. But I never looked into
it.
It's renamed Trovebox now.

After spending too much time
figuring out how to install and configure My Photo
Gallery (http://fuzzymonkey.net/software/photogallery/)
on my CentOS 5 web server, only to realize it's
completely inadequate for the task we have in
mind, I thought I'd turn to the group for help
before wasting a lot more time. Do any of you
have experience with good photo gallery software
for Linux?
I want something web based, which would make it
reasonably easy to invite select individuals to
upload photos for various events (seminars &
symposia) we hold. Ideally, we would set up a
gallery for each event, then e-mail attendees
access info (username & password) which would
give them access to that gallery to upload photos
taken at the event. After a time, we'd close off
access for uploads, e.g. by changing the password,
but keep the gallery up for public viewing from
our site. It would have to be something really
easy to use, simple and reliable, so that invitees
don't have to spend a lot of time leaning or
fighting with the site to upload a half-dozen
pictures. It would be really nice if it allowed
them to add comments to the photos too.
I was thinking of trying Gallery 2 next, which is
apparently available from EPEL for CentOS 5. But
it looks like something pretty big and complicated
with lots of packages, and it needs an SQL
database on the back end, so I don't know how much
of an effort it will be to install, configure and
learn. So, I thought I'd ask before investing a
whole lot more time on this. Any experience with
this or other gallery software? What's good out
there that would fit the bill for our needs? Or
should we just give up on this idea and get
everyone to upload to Flickr?
Thanks!
