[Debconf-discuss] Group photo information

2010-08-08 Thread Aigars Mahinovs
Hello all,

Summary: group photo is tomorrow at 11:30 on the main steps of the old
library. Everyone must be there!

Also tomorrow at 10:00 we will have a photo opportunity with the Dean
of Columbia University school of engineering (which includes computer
sciences). We will take two photos - one picture of just the Dean that
we will paste into the main group photo and a secondary publicity
photo with a few developers. So if you want to be in that - just show
up on the steps at around 10:00 tomorrow. Only the Dean will be merged
into the main photo, so if you are with the Dean, you also must show
up at 11:30 to be in the group photo!

Here is the process for the main group photo - there will be a 'crier'
person sent to every talk room and both hacklabs to get people out at
11:30. Everyone should walk directly to the main steps of the old
library and starting to stand. We will be standing on the second set
of sets on the both sides of the 'Alma Matter' statue. Shorter people
in front, longer people in back. Only stand in one row per step, try
to get shape like a square. Make sure that your face is completely
visible to me. I will be on a stepladder just in front of the big
white tent. I will take up to 50 photos so the process might take up
to 10 minutes. Please be patient. Please try not to turn your head to
the side as that confuses the photo stitching algorithm greatly and
then I have to manually fix your face.

We'll be trying to beat the 96 Mpix resolution of the previous years
group photo, so let's give it our best!

The group photo was a great success. I thank you all for being patient
and I thank everyone who helped to make this group photo as fast and
painless as it was. And here is the result:

http://www.flickr.com/photos/aigarius/4867463808/

Now, please - everyone that was in the group photo, go to
http://wiki.debconf.org/wiki/DebConf10/GroupPhoto and add your name
and the names of all the people you know. Especially concentrate on
people that might be less known face to face: Debconf newbies, local
people, people that refuse to take photos, but still came to the group
photo :) ... Also please spread this message to everyone who is in the
group photo: add your name to the list.

Unfortunately, I will probably not be able to be there!  Unless I decide
to go on the lam, I have to show up for jury duty tomorrow.

Is there any way for me to fleetingly elevate my status to something
like that of the dean, and get a picture taken of me some other time, so
that it can be pasted in after the fact?

I want to be in the picture!

Is it possible for 7 Bosnians from DebConf11 team to all be in one
corner/one spot, since we also have a Bosnian flag with us for the
picture.

Get me when I am in hacklab1 and when there is sun outside (I leave
New York in the late morning of Sunday), best before Saturday noon
(this is the time I plan to finish working on the photo and release
the result). I can not promise that you will fully blend in, but I
will try.
