Sara said it's fine to forward this along to the tuxpaint-stamps
list, and that volunteers can email her with a list of suitable
pictures.  She's got over 900 of them on Flickr, that she said
we can use!  (Many are unsuitable for Tux Paint Stamps, e.g.
interiors of buildings, or cut-off shots -- though the ones
I've seen have all wonderful photographs, regardless :) )

I really need to get that asset database tool working! :)

Hello Bill,

I'm an American living in Italy (from the SF Bay area) and I heard
your interview on FLOSS Weekly.

I love open source software, I've done a couple of presentations about
advocacy here but I'm trying to increase my own participation as well.
I notice that you need photography/artwork for Tux Paint - I love that
you've made OS software for children! I'm also a photographer - I do
mainly food and travel for my blog but I thought perhaps some of my
photography might be interesting for Tux Paint.

Right now a lot of my photography is on Flickr - it's almost all All
Rights Reserved but any of the photos you see I'd love to make
available for Tux Paint (and you can re-release them under the GNU
license with the software).

I do have a set I just made available under Creative Commons
(http://www.flickr.com/photos/msadventuresinitaly/sets/72157614223811471/)
but I'd love to extend the offer to any of my photos you feel would be
appropriate. Let me know which ones you like, I can modify the files
myself and send them in whatever file format you need, etc. without a
watermark. Just let me know if any of them are interesting. Most
photos were taken with a 10MP so I have high-resolution versions.

Thanks and great job, SARA
