Another way to do it could be with the new Cheese:
http://programmermusings.blogspot.com/2011/02/face-overlays.html
That would take much less space, and could be a fun demo of what one can
do with Fedora.
And if the Beefy Miracle face overlay has some success, it could even be
included out of box in Cheese. :)

Mathieu,
Oh, you made my job easier, I think. We just need to figure out what
special overlays we'll offer and apply it to the pic as part of a
script. I like the idea of cheese, but I would definitely want to be
able to script it so that we could hand out postcards with proper QR
codes for their pictures. I suspect Cheese can be scriptable (since
it's written with gstreamer, which has python and other bindings).
Great idea here! I love the face overlays!
