Wow, I'm amazed that you arranged that by hand! Automating that process would be
a fun POV-Ray project. The functions min_extent () and max_extent () work on the
text {} object and that's the key functionality required. In addition to scaling
you could fine-tune the fit by adjusting the spacing between first and last
names. Since your cloud shape is a rectangle that would keep things relatively
simple and the empty center would only add a slight level of complexity. If I
had unlimited free time I would enjoy taking a shot at that...

Nice job, and for a very worthy and noble cause!
