+During the Membership meeting in October 2012 to connect the meetings in New York City and Mexico City and member around the world a photo stream was created on [http://i.mayfirst.org]
+[[BR]]
+This was achieved with javascript and a email checking script. So that when an email is sent with a photo to a specified address the script pulls the image and uploads it to designated site.
+
+There are some dependencies that need to be installed from root on the server
+
+{{{
+apt-get install php5-imagick libjs-jquery-ui libjs-jquery
+}}}
+
+The following information is available in the README files after you "git" them
+
+In your home directory on the server enter the following command
+
+{{{
+git clone git://git.mayfirst.org/jamie/get-picture-via-imap.git
+}}}
+
+Afterwards copy the contents of the 
+
+{{{
+~/get-picture-via-imap/web
+}}}
+
+to the /web directory on the server
+
+{{{
+$~cp get-picture-via-imap/web/*.* /path/to/web/
+}}}
+
+Once the files and directories are copied then proceed to to the subdirectory for galleria
+
+{{{
+$~/path/to/web/galleria
+}}}
+
+Follow the included README file 
+ Down load galleria: http://galleria.io/ and put it in this directory.
+Then, create a symlink for galleria.js -> galleria-n.n.n.js replacing
+n.n.n with the version of galleria that you installed.
+
+Do the same from the javascript director
+
+{{{
+$~/path/to/web/js/
+}}}
+
+ Download both jquery (http://jquery.com/) and jquery-ui (http://jqueryui.com/).
+Add symlinks: jquery.min.js -> jquery-n.n.n.min.js
+              jquery-ui.min.js -> jquery-ui-n.n.n.min.js
+Replacing n.n.n with the appropriate version numbers.
+
+Symlink can be established with the follwing command 
+
+{{{
+$~/path/to/web/galleria/ln -s galleria-n.n.n.js galleria.js
+}}}
+
+same should be done in the js directory for the jquery and jquery-ui
+
+after the above symlinks are created please create an images directory on web
+
+{{{
+$~/path/to/web/images/
+}}}
+
+As the script is looking to place the photos in the /images directory
+
+The final configuration is the imap.cnf file. This file needs to be in the home directory as that is where the cron job will be looking for the configuration
+
+{{{
+username:password@mail.server.org
+}}}
+
+if we are using the mayfirst server than mail.server.org --> mail.mayfirst.org
+
+Be sure to type the username and password with the : in between as the script requires it to check the emails and then process the images.
+
+Then please visit the site and test if the emails come through by uploading the images 
+
+
+----
+
+If you want to use the same site again for a future event please copy the contents of the /images directory and create a new folder under /web with a name for the event[[BR]]
+Then copy the contents of the /web directory (excluding the images directory) to the newly created sub directory for the event.
+
+Then when people visit <said.site.org/photoevent> it will load the galleria software and script to display the images.
