Summary
Add support for profiles pictures / icons in user profiles
Background
It be a friendly touch to add profile pictures or icons for people with profiles on the site. This helps give faces to the people behind FOSSRIT and makes the site a little more visual.
Details
We discussed Gravatar, but @kennedy originally looked into this and discovered issues with doing this in Jekyll. It would be cool to use Gravatar but may not be practical.
One alternative is that since we already inquire for git forges, maybe we could pull profile pictures from the image someone already uses on a site like GitHub or GitLab.
Outcome
- More visual, friendly touch to FOSS-profiles site
- Easier to map nicknames / handles to actual faces
