  Thanks for taking this discussion forward, Adriaan and Carl.

I cannot access that task, Adriaan. Perhaps if the task does not include
any sensitive content, we can put it on the promo task board for everyone
to help us with? :-)
Anyways, after some discussions with Paul, I think we have a solution for
future events.
The Photos folder on share.kde.org currently hosts photographs for Promo
sprint (Barcelona,2018), Akademy (Vienna,2018), FOSDEM (Brussels, 2019) and
this year's conf.kde.in (Delhi).
share.kde.org also has good support in terms of user access control- users
can be limited to adding new photographs, but not deleting any already
uploaded files. I can confirm this works just as expected.
So, the solution proposed here is- we can share read & upload-only
permissions to the Photos folder to all KDE identities, and create a new
folder per-event.
Would that be feasible?

Best
