Don't make them go!
They're wonderfull, they can show software that has just been
created/improved, they show the different maps (I love that diversity OSM
has), they are great for a quick graphical display of the news/party
results/etc.

I would cry if they go.
On helping you find images, errrm, er I would try but I don't how worthy my
stories would be.
