I don’t see the link between ohloh rank and pictures, could you elaborate?

so on the pyconca site for speakers who had ohloh accounts we pulled in an image associated with their rank. That image has a white background which makes it look ugly on the site, so I had to used photoshop to make the backgrounds transparent so they looked good.

We need a way to tie speaker's name to ohloh and process their ranking image with PIL or something to make the background transparent.

Yes, hardcoded rank is not ideal. That said, I'm not sure that we'll be using the same application this year for PyCon Canada. I think Taavi is leading the web-dev this year; co-ordinate before implementing. Cheers!
