The debian-private mailing list leak, part 1. Volunteers have complained about Blackmail. Lynchings. Character assassination. Defamation. Cyberbullying. Volunteers who gave many years of their lives are picked out at random for cruel social experiments. The former DPL's girlfriend Molly de Blanc is given volunteers to experiment on for her crazy talks. These volunteers never consented to be used like lab rats. We don't either. debian-private can no longer be a safe space for the cabal. Let these monsters have nowhere to hide. Volunteers are not disposable. We stand with the victims.

A good example of a logo is Lucent's "coffee stain" logo, which is
simple and instantly recognizable.  I instantly recognised it the
other day on the back of a phone that briefly (<1 second) appeared on
a TV show.  Other examples: Adobe's triangle-like logo and the AT&T
"Death Star".


My favorite _image_ from the "logo contest" is the one at the top of
the web pages.  But the one Bruce chose is a very good _logo_.

If this goes to any kind of vote other than a yes/no vote, I'm afraid
that either we will never come to a decision, or we will end up with a
wonderful image that is useless as a logo.

Having a logo in no way prevents us from using other artwork on web
pages, like the image at the top of the current web page, but it does
give us a simple graphical element that we can incorporate into other
images to identify them as being uniquely debian.  (e.g. Powered by
Debian logos, etc.)
