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.

Re: Debian GNU/Linux Logo chosen

Hi!

It looks like some people are upset because of Bruce' decision regarding
the logo. So let me comment on this:

I started the logo page over a year ago since several people wanted to
have a logo for Debian to put on their web page, CD covers, etc. A lot of
people have submitted logos and we got lots of good critics through the
"feedback" pages. 

Shortly before Debian 1.3 has been released, there was a discussion on
debian-private about if we should start a vote for the official Debian
logo based on the latest logo page. There was a wide consensus on
debian-private (that is, amoung the Debian developers) that we do not have
enough "logos" on the page to be able to start a vote. 

With that, I realized that we would probably never get a decision directly
from the logo page. Only few logos have been improved and the new
submittions I received since then didn't contain new ideas. In addition,
the comments on the feedback pages showed that it's impossible to do a
"vote" on such a topic which is only about "aesthetics". 

You'll always have 50% of people that like one logo and the other 50%
don't like that logo.

After several discussions with intrested peoples and after a discussion
with Bruce (on the Congress in Aachen) we agreed that the logo topic
should be decided not by all Debian developers but by a few intrested
ones. That's why Bruce asked the people on the debian-publicity list about
their comments on that logo and since noone objected it has finally been
chosen as the official logo for Debian GNU/Linux.

After all, I'm very happy that we finally had chosen a logo from the logo
page!

I've just updated the Logo home page at
   http://fatman.mathematik.tu-muenchen.de/~schwarz/debian-logo/

Note, that I've fixed the official logo to read "Debian GNU/Linux".


Thanks,

Chris
