Hi Aigars (2020.07.19_11:07:49_+0000) > I am considering assembling a Debconf20 group photo from participant > mugshot photos in our registration system.
They are using libravatar. I think historically Gravatar used 80x80 images, so that's probably the quality available for most of them. Downsides to getting mugshots from the registration system: 1. Quality probably won't be great. 2. Less than 40% of the users have them. Some people don't like to have their picture in services like Gravatar/libravatar. Signups tend to use @debian.org addresses, which doesn't have a federated libravatar server. > Can we add a checkbox to the form still? Something like: "Please include my > mugshot photo in the Debconf20 group photo"? Technically, yes, we could. Although I wish things like this came up before we opened registration. Changes to the process mean we have to prod people to go through it again. > I will then also need a hint on how I can get access to the mugshot files > of people who checked that box. We could get you a list of libravatar URLs, or a tarball of images. But: I think we should look at some other approaches to getting mugshots, too: 1. A temporary git repo? 2. A nextcloud or something like that. 3. A dedicated collection form in the registration site? 4. Email? Or some/all of the above... SR -- Stefano Rivera http://tumbleweed.org.za/ +1 415 683 3272
