                                Michael Still 
                              <mikal at google.com>
      
      Michael Still has done a lot of work on Open Source image
      software.  See his web site at http://stillhq.com.
      Most recently he has written a book on ImageMagick 
      (a command line image processing tool) which was published 
      late last year by Apress.

      Note: Google was originally going to send Trisha Weir.  She
      wasn't available, but they are flying Michael to Portland for 
      our meeting and will have a number of other Google people
      as well.  And I'm told they are likely to send some freebies 
      as well - maybe even a few copies of Michael's book.
