Montage of Brian

Further to my last post about Brian McCauley, his wife Sam has a request for photos any of us may have taken over the years of Brian, so that she can used them to create a montage at his memorial.

If you have anything you'd like to submit, perhaps from a YAPC or other Perl event, please send them to the email address: picturesofbrian2015@gmail.com
