I’m looking for photos of GNOME lovers, loving GNOME. I have a bunch of great photos of GNOME in use at telecentres, schools and so on. Most include the happy faces of GNOME users enjoying freedom. But I need more!
So if you have cool photos of users enjoying GNOME in “the real world” — not your computer room! — please post URLs in the comments, or email me. The photos will be used at GUADEC, for great justice.

What sort of photos do you want? I’m going to take some at work next week.
Basically group photos with GNOME involved, or pictures of culturally interesting uses of GNOME (telecentres, education buses, etc).
Maybe you like any of these photographs from Spanish learning center in small villages of Extremadura and Andalusia
A) Extremadura (with GNU/LinEx)

C) And finally, on this link you can find a lot of pics of people learning with GNU/Linux

Sorry, some pics are very small. Try to see them without the final m (eg. puertas-8m.jpg — > puertas-8.jpg)
I’m dumb. I wanted to say parents and childens with Guadalinex in the school’s open doors day not “teachers and students”
Not sure if this fits, but here is one of gnome 2.14 party photos from the 3rd world country named latvia

Maybe I will seem like some party crasher, but why don’t take pictures of (even happier) KDE-users? Your blog-post is published on planet.ubuntu after all.
On a sidenote (and for all the GNOME lovers): I actually started to like GNOME since Dapper. Orange is cool (well, they’ve reverted since Flight 6) but I still prefer network-manager and disk-manager to kcontrol.
Still I think it was better to have a bunch of GNOME/ubuntu-devs working on portland rather than GNOME.
im currently setting up an internet cafe with edubuntu, ill take some photos when its done..

… because I was collecting pictures of GNOME users for a talk about GNOME at a GNOME event.

Dude, seriously — Portland, right now, is a bunch of shell scripts that wrap GNOME and KDE tools. It is not a new desktop environment, it is not a fully functional API unto itself. There is nothing to do, and ultimately no point “working on Portland rather than GNOME”.
