Missing members of the 115th Congress

New Senator Photos Missing

When checking for photos of the 115th Congress, four or the seven freshman members of Senate do not yet have photos. This is probably because the GPO hasn't posted the 115th member list and they never served in the House. Here are photos that can be used as placeholders until they become available on GPO:

Kamala D. Harris (D-CA)

• Bioguide ID: H001075
• Link: https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Kamala_Harris_Official_Attorney_General_Photo.jpg
• Why Official & Public Domain: Official portrait from when CA Attorney General; Available on her current bio page

John Kennedy (R-LA)

• Bioguide ID: K000393
• Link: https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:John_Neely_Kennedy,_official_portrait,_115th_Congress.jpg
• Why Official & Public Domain: Official senatorial portrait, on his current bio page

Margaret Wood Hassan (D-NH)

• Bioguide ID: H001076
• Link: https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Maggie_Hassan,_official_portrait,_115th_Congress.jpg
• Why Official & Public Domain: Official senatorial portrait, on her current bio page

Catherine Cortez Masto (D-NV)

I was unable to find a suitable public domain photo of Senator Masto.

• Bioguide ID: C001113

Thanks, I'll add these.

http://memberguide.gpo.gov doesn't yet have the 115th congress, so we'll have to wait or do them manually.

[pirtleshell]

yes, there are a bunch. But only four senators so i figured they'd be easy to tackle. Masto doesn't have any CC0 photos I could find though.

GPO will probably be up soon enough!

[hugovk]

How's this? #127

[spencerthayer]

I see someone else has this covered so @hugovk you can close #130. I'm posting here to be updated when it is merged to the master and live on the official site.

[hugovk]

#127 merged and #130 closed.

[amp343]

As @hugovk noted, there are quite a few legislators with missing photos at the moment. Is there any expectation of when those photos will be scrapeable via the memberguide?

I'm trying to gauge the value of contributing other (fill-in) photos in the meantime. Ie, if those photos are typically available soon, it may be best to just wait for them. If not, providing fill-in photos would be more valuable.

[hugovk]

In January 2015, @handlers called the GPO about the 114th, and they estimated it'd be ready in June: #22 (comment) I'm not sure when they were added, but they were there by October 2015 (#114), and they'd mostly been manually added in the summer.

It may be worth calling them again to get a new estimate.

Last time round, @nickom did a sterling job in filling in missing images, and then finding better quality images of existing ones. If someone's up for hunting out new ones, it may be worth browsing his closed issues for tips and sources:
https://github.com/unitedstates/images/issues?q=is%3Aissue+is%3Aclosed+author%3Anickom+sort%3Acreated-asc

See also: https://github.com/unitedstates/images#contributing-other-photos (we could update this with some tips)

And a note on metadata: #39 (comment)

[rthbound]

Just ran a script to report on missing images... sharing results: https://gist.github.com/rthbound/9abeca9b0c4890d58f66d29b3e75bafe

(current as of sometime around this comment's timestamp)

[rthbound]

@amp343 @hugovk We have images for the meantime here: gh-pages...rthbound:prog-code-patch-1

The original files are not all *.jpg, so you may want that fixed before merging.

So far we've produced 225x275 and 450x550 for each of the reps mentioned in the gist file above.

The most recent commit explains what's most likely next if we want this merged:

Adds originals. These need to be converted to .jpg of same name (for those that are jpeg or png)

It's been a long few hours of work preparing these, so I'm headed to bed. Will look at converting/renaming the last few originals tomorrow.

[hugovk]

Thank you for preparing all those!

Regarding:
https://github.com/unitedstates/images#contributing-other-photos
https://github.com/unitedstates/images#public-domain

Are they all official/public domain images? Where did each one come from?

They'll also need metadata files, see #39 (comment)

Thanks again!

[rthbound]

@hugovk that's what i get for not reading.

I expected we'd want public domain images, so these were the instructions we followed while gathering:

i figure anything .gov is fair game… wikimedia commons, etc… ideally the source image is at least as large as the images we need to produce (size down to fit, preferred)

I'll have to check on the metadata... and do you need the source urls?

EDIT I see the details, thank you for the links and feedback.

[hugovk]

Perhaps @konklone and @JoshData can help with those ^ questions.

[rthbound]

Ok. Given the instructions, and given that a lawyer and a paralegal helped to carry them out, I expect these are about 99% public domain. I do know that Brian Mast's image came from his facebook somewhere.

We'll take some time to find the attributions before we issue a PR.

I am assuming that the originals do also need to use the .jpg file extension, so that's one more change we intend to make prior to opening the pull request.

[hugovk]

Yes please, let's have them all .jpg, because this says:

Photos are available at predictable URLs, by size and Bioguide ID. Photos are served using GitHub Pages.
