hey all, I am speaking at Linuxcon 2011 in gorgeous Vancouver, BC, aug 17-19. I need photos of Linux users from all walks of life: kids, old people, people of color, coders, casual users, artists, documenters, community managers, any and all Linux users! I am going to make slides with 6-8 photos per slide, no captions. My talk is "Who is the face of Linux?" Please send me your photos at carla@tuxcomputing.com, or give me a link where I can snag them off a Web site. thanks! |

You can have mine from the LXer website, if that's not big enough I'll send you another, and one of my partner, I'll also ask some of my clients if they are willing to contribute photos. |

Thanks TA, the more the better! I'll let you know if I need a bigger pic. |

Quoting:you sure you want a picture of me? I'm not exactly Brad Pitt..;-) Good. Brad Pitt looks like Curious George. A pic of you would be very nice, plz! |

Its already a couple of months old, but I guess its fine for this project. Also note that my brother and sister behind me also use Linux :) Here is a picture from one of my other sister that uses Linux : http://bwns.be/jim/sister.jpg Have fun with them :p |

I have a few of our kids at some of the labs we've built...let me see if they are on this drive... |

@tc,
"your photos wanted!" reminds me much too keenly that marketing companies and ID thieves REALLY REALLY want as much of our and our families'+friends' identifying info as possible for their purposes. More like "your IDs wanted!"......and passed along to goodness-know-who during that innocent Summer conference in Vancouver. We PASS on your offer! -fb |

I am going to make slides with 6-8 photos per slide, no captions. I hardly think a photo collage shown for a minute or two each at a Linux Convention is going to invade anyone's privacy... I'm just sayin'. Check ur email gurlfriend...zip file attached. |
| jdixon May 28, 2011 3:38 PM EDT |
Always remember, TC, you asked for it. You have mail. |

Haha. Thanks. |

Not sure I have any pictures worth having, but I'll mail you one if I can find it. Good project. Hope you post the slides or YouTube (as long as it's not a Power Point presentation) when you're done. |
| tuxchick Jun 26, 2011 12:59 AM EDT |
Thanks, and yes I will post my slides somewheres. |

Funny story I heard about Sun Microsystems back in the mid-to-late 90s. They were using truly horrendous quantities of disk space at Sun, when disk space was expensive, and they couldn't figure out why. So they did an audit. ...power point presentations. |

There's some photos you're welcome to of the PCLinuxOS development team from 2007 here: http://www.myspace.com/pclinuxos click on pics, then go to 'ripper gang' and you can have any of those photos. Mine's in there :D |

@tc -- My pictures are all over the internet, but do to a clerical error they keep being mislabeled as "George Clooney". Don't know who this Clooney guy is, but I hope he appreciates all the good will from being associated with my gorgeous mug. |

Yeah I heard Ferris was having similar problems but the name that kept popping up for him was RuPaul. |
| vainrveenr Jan 11, 2012 12:35 PM EDT |
Quoting:the name that kept popping up for him was RuPaul.Although unlikely to be confused with Ron Paul. Ron Paul as in Quoting:A letter signed by Reps. Zoe Lofgren and Anna Eshoo, both California Democrats, and Rep. Ron Paul, the Republican presidential candidate from Texas, predicts that SOPA will invite "an explosion of innovation-killing lawsuits and litigation." Law professors have also raised concerns. And yes, there is a protest song.(Source of quote is 'How SOPA would affect you: FAQ', found at http://news.cnet.com/8301-31921_3-57329001-281/how-sopa-would-affect-you-faq/) |

Ron Paul / RuPaul 2012! The political ticket that covers the whole spectrum |
| dinotrac Jan 11, 2012 6:56 PM EDT |
I can see it now: Paul, the power of 2 |

That was appauling. |

No, a vitamin C deficiency is aPauling. |
| dinotrac Jan 11, 2012 11:46 PM EDT |
@gus3 --- BOOOOOOOOOOOOOO HISSSSSSSSSSS! Might as well Linus up and shoot us. |
| gus3 Jan 11, 2012 11:48 PM EDT |
@dino, check your fortunes database. |
| TxtEdMacs Jan 12, 2012 9:16 AM EDT |
Agust Gus ..., I was going to post that this thread might disturb Linus*, but I assumed it would shoot over too many heads. You are a brother, I now presume separated by cruel fate at birth or before or after - depending on the script of the drama. And dino is one of us[! | ?] YBT * Throwing in a nod to the Pauling Point as vitamin C as his firm belief it was the answer to so many problems was too obvious. |
| cr Jan 12, 2012 10:03 AM EDT |
C just does what it's sposedta, it's a vital component of operating system connective tissue |
| dinotrac Jan 12, 2012 6:02 PM EDT |
Few people know that Pauling's lifelong fixation was the direct result of his love for Jimmy Cagney movies. Nah, this ain't no gun, you dirty copper. It's a vitamin. See? |
