If so, you may be able to help me. If not, sorry for intruding into your day.

I will shortly* be giving a presentation on Free Software at a conference of 10-12 year old kids. One subject that I'd like to touch on is the community aspect of Free Software. In particular, the fact that Free Software authors are 'known' to many people around the world that they have never met and probably never will meet.

I'd like to illustrate this point with a montage of photos of people who've used software, or read articles or forum posts that I've written. It's not intended to be some big ego trip - it's the 'community' I want to illustrate rather than the 'me'.

So, if you have ever heard of me and if you'd like to help, could you please send me an email at grantm @ cpan.org, with the following:

I promise not to use your image for any purpose other than the montage described above.

If you're not sure if you've encountered me or my work before then some of the links on my home node might jog your memory.

Thanks in advance to anyone who can help.

*Limbic~Region pointed out that I should define 'shortly'. But if I told you it was one month from now (which it is) then you might think "I have a month to do that" and then you might forget. So let's pretend I never said that. :-)

Edit: g0n - removed readmore tags
