Tuesday, September 27th, 2005 “Everybody Loves Eric Raymond” is an online comic. It depicts the real lives of Richard Stallman, Eric Raymond and Linus Torvalds as accurately as comedically possible. Their real lives, which include living together in a house, with dynamic dimensions, without their wives or girlfriends.
We at FSFE love this strip, so when we saw that the author, John Leach, is looking for new characters we thought that the Fellows can help. Send a picture of you wearing your "plussy" t-shirt to lovesraymond@gmail.com. Here is the original request of John:
I’m caving in to pressure and am planning to introduce some new characters. I need new bodies to do this. This is where you, and the power of creative commons/free culture, comes in. If you have a digital camera, an example of typical geeky attire, and a hilarious human body then you can help. Dress in the aforementioned attire, have a friend take a few photos of you posing in typical comic-strip stances, send photos to lovesraymond@gmail.com (only send photos here. fan/hate mail should always go to eler@geekz.co.uk.) You agree to license your photos under a Creative Commons Attribution License so I can use them quite freely. Ensure you are very well lit; try outside in daylight. Try to get the white balance set right. Try to stand in front of a plain uniform background, or at least one in clear contrast to your clothing. The rest is up to you.
