Don't discourage anyone from sending their images now though. The editor job takes hours and hours to be donated by Richard as I am sure that everyone can appreciate. The bulk of the contributions arriving later in makes the job harder. This will be the 10th edition I think. Everyone active in the LUG and especially long term members should send in their images and be part of this one. Help out the editor by doing that soon, not in the last week. Everyone, don't wait until Dr Ted starts threatening to send his enforcers.
