Hi Akkana, gimp list people, (I don't have time to post to the "gimp images yahoo group) (but that would be a great place to forward this message, I think) (& all) - you probably won't remember me, but we've met, probably at svlug or some other linux related event.

[sending two copies of this message, one to svlug@lists.svlug.org, one to gimp-user@lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU, to avoid crossposting.]

[Hey - gimp-user@lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU - berkeley, cool - oh yeah, now I remember, the guy who started GIMP was a berkeley student? & then that the source of GNOME????]

IIRC, you wrote a book about gimp. Last year, when I made a presentation at the BIL conference, I met a lady who uses the Adobe sw for image processing - shes a photographer & graphic artist, maybe using a mac. She was interested in learning about free sw, linux, & the gimp, I think I emailed you about her, or her about your book.

== Anyway, _tomorrow_, Friday Feb 12, at 4pm, I'm making an intro talk to BIL people, basically about why they _should_ _want_ to be using GNU(Linux).

My talk is titled "GaGa for GNU(Linux)", because GNU(Linux) is great, & something to be gaga about, & cause Lady Gaga is topical. ;)

I have a picture up on the BIL website with me & a friend in it. http://2010.bilconference.com/2010/02/giovanni-re-gaga-for-gnulinux/ http://2010.bilconference.com/category/speakers/

Here's were you come in: It would be a great demo of the capability of not only the GNU(Linux) software GIMP, but of the community ability also, if that photo could be gimped to add in a picture of Lady Gaga.

That is beyond my capabilities (artistically, & learning curve to learn gimp). I know you wrote a book, so you are a writer. Maybe you are also a gimp artist. Or, maybe you _know_ a gimp artist.

Could you, or someone you know, gimp my photo, add in Lady Gaga - it doesn't even have to be "artistic", or "highly realistic" - practically cut & paste would be fine & wonderfully acceptable, but if someone wanted to make it look nice - so much the better. :)

The __Primary__ factor is: it _has_ to be done & available to me before 4PM Friday Feb 12, tomorrow, before my talk. !!!!
