-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 I've talked about this multiple times but its fallen on death ears so I'm going to bring it up to the everyone who reads this mailing list.
I've noticed a disturbing trend with the website redesign. Larry is disappearing from the site. Most noticeably from the about page. The Larry looking for something different in a OS poster is no where to be found. This is quite disturbing to me because I know a lot of the users and developers enjoy the wackiness having a cow as a mascot instead of a penguin to be one of the things that make us unique. Gentoo has four main things that define us as a whole just for appearances sake. Those are: the color purple, the signature G, Larry the (transgender via lots of debate over if a bull can be a cow, and why a bull would have udders) cow, and the little alien floating guy. Even within bugzilla there are references to Larry like the following: http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=100001 . We've never had a penguin like most other distro's that help define their distro. Even our freebsd port is the Gentoo G in red with the horns and tail. Curtis has said he doesn't want to remove then entirely, but that is exactly what is happening. I just don't want to lose what gives us visually and jokingly personality. I just can't sit by any longer and not bring it up, as I feel that its just getting rid of the heritage that has been around longer then a lot of us have been developers. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.2.2 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQFEXXYfSENan+PfizARArNqAJ9MasjnAcoCuqrqoTxHeF0LBQSFxACghit+ lySh2tUzKRJSxlEBq4JNz4E= =cKgC -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- gentoo-dev@gentoo.org mailing list
