Re: [libreoffice-marketing] libreoffice.org does look rather sterile -- lets mix in community pictures into the slideshow

Well as people take pictures at different events around the world, 
hopefully they will post them so they can be used in the donation page[s].

It would be nice to see more than white college student/teacher looking 
people in the photos.

Maybe there are some photos at some event booths that might be good here 
as well.  We do not need to just show "work sessions".
