The Faces of CPAN

Now that some of us have added our Gravatars to CPAN I thought it'd be fun (and perhaps a little scary) to collect all the available mugshots in one place.

The Faces of CPAN

We're disappointingly white and male - but who knew how damn fine we'd look as a group? Somebody should organise a naked calendar photo shoot next. People would pay lots of money not to see that.

Per application?

Now we need a mash up that shows the mugs of everyone whose module is in your application. :)

But not naked, right?

My Acme::Module::Authors would be a good start. I could probably just change the output to an HTML so you can embed to your application template somewhere..

Application template? :)

It's a crufty little script that uses HTML::Tiny to generate the markup and it's currently run using AndyCron (i.e. whenever I remember :)

By the way, if anyone wants to play the script that does it is in the examples subdir of Parallel::Iterator.

Who?

How did you decide which mugshots to include?

Re:Who?

AndyArmstrong on 2007-10-15T08:09:57

That's all I could find - I just go through the authors looking for all of them. Did I miss someone?

Re:Who?

jjore on 2007-10-20T06:29:32

Er, you missed me, for one. I assume you missed others.

Re:Who?

AndyArmstrong on 2007-10-20T08:57:26

Ah - your face is a GIF :)

I didn't check for gifs. Have now, you're there.

your face is a GIF

I hope not!

Name that face

I tried to see how many people I could name. I can name 14 people, and three or four more faces I recognise from YAPCs.

I was rather surprised to discover how many people had gone to the effort of creating a gravatar. Impressive.

Re:Name that face

cog on 2007-10-15T14:20:55

As the list is right now, I know 23 of those people personally.

Re:Name that face

barbie on 2007-10-15T16:25:09

And I took 3 of the photos!

AndyArmstrong on 2007-10-15T17:46:26

And they didn't even credit you! :)
