The Faces of Mozilla

This is an official suggestion for the Mozilla Foundation: the community of developers and contributors is only a list of buddy names, bugzilla adresses, IRC nicks, CVS accounts and other electronic blogs. No faces... We could ask all people in our community to send a fixed size photo, and make a Mozilla logo with those photos, just like this photo of G.W. Bush made with the photos of the soldiers killed in Iraq. The effect is very well done, but I have no idea what's the tool the image's author used. The tool increases or decreases the brigthness and color range of each photo as if it was a pixel of the bigger image. I love it. Seriously, we could it for Mozilla.

I don't know if this is the program that's used, but it looks very similar to the output produced by AndreaMosaic: andreaplanet.com/andreamo...
rginda had one of those, from when he hacked up chatzilla to support faces. Can't recall the URL, though.
Try this for the mosaic creation from arbitrary images: Mosaic Creator Professional. I made some cool images with it in the past:

I think it's a great idea...

but if you suggest it, your volunteering to coordinate it.
Photo Mosaic plugin for GIMP: www.kirchgessner.net/phot...
I have not yet worked with it, but at least it is opensource/free software.
And I must say I like your idea...
www.mozilla.org/about/sta... could use some pictures too. It would give Mozilla a nice face.
Playing with AndreaMosaic and a couple of pictures of monkey's. This is fun!
Those faces could go on Planet Mozilla too. Planet Jabber (planet.jabber.org) and Planet GNOME (planet.gnome.org) already have faces.
Planet Debian <planet.debian.org/> also has "hackergotchi heads" <planet.gnome.org/heads/&g...
