Could please someone teach the photographer a lesson?
I really don't think that this kind of amateur stuff is good publicity for KDE.
People should get a license to photograph before they can buy a digital cam.

Don't get me wrong, it sure is a good article, but the photos are too bad to be put on the net.

grovel,

you are right that the pics are of low-quality, but I can assure you it has nothing to do with my skills as a photographer.We didn't use a digital camera and all pics were scanned afterwards by a helpful person.

So it was either nothong (no pics) or these pics.

Though I think the article in general is surely good publicity for KDE.

take care'

Fab

It's a community effort which we support, being the community, and I think the photos are quite alright. Who are they going to harm exactly? The photos are for us, let's enjoy them.

Plus, let's be realistic. If these are the standards for posting KDE photos, then nothing will ever be posted on the dot...

I feel like this has been a common them lately, but here goes anyway:

> Could please someone teach the photographer a lesson?

Sure. When will you be meeting him to "teach him a lesson". Better yet, why weren't you there to take the pictures yourself? Will you be hiring a professional photographer for the next KDE event? Or maybe providing a nicer camera?

> I really don't think that this kind of amateur stuff is good publicity for

Because? I'm sure we lost half of our users today, just because of those photos. You know I don't think all of these "amateur" programmers are good for KDE. When is KDE going to start hiring professionals?!? Oh, wait.

> People should get a license to photograph before they can buy a digital cam.

People should not complain that aren't willing to help.

Dude, *nothing* is too bad to be put on the net. I can post lots of examples.
:-)

And sorry, I know this is a bit inflametory, but you just insulted people that spent time and money to do something great for KDE. Constructive criticism is appreciated; help is appreciated; insults are not.
