I Have To Ask....

Postby Germ » Jan 2nd, '16, 22:36

I've been gone for a bit. Why the upside down "i" in the logo?

It's a mistake obviously. Please open a bug report. Our engineers will take care of it.

FWIW, here's a link where this was initially brought up:
https://ml.mageia.org/wwsympa-wrapper.f ... 00069.html
Later a decision was reached by our council:

Seems somehow I edited my reply and removed the important bit …

No, it's not a mistake, it was done intentionally, see the links above. And what do you mean by your engineers?

Yes I know, of course. Just joking. And I'm talking about the engineers who made this software. I'm in contact with them on a regular basis, you know ...

Full disclosure: I have frequent meetings with their CEO and CTO to share some advice and directions, etc ... More about this later.

Nope, not really. Before he had a link to our bugzilla there ...

This is HUMOR. You know. Just joking.

You don't like bugzilla links. Fine. Still, this was a joke. A JOKE.

Exactly. Looks like doktor has no sense of humor.

Look, you have posted and told Germ to report a bug to get our logo changed, and suggested in the same sentence that "your engineers" will take care about it,
as if you would speak on behalf of Mageia.Org as some kind of official representative, or as if you would "own" some Mageia engineers.
So I was curious, but you didn't reply to my question what you meant by that, and later removed the link to bugzilla. I've no problem with the link where it's appropriate.

You're new here, and there is no context that this was intented to be funny somehow.
This is not about sense of humour but about impersonation. Whereas in parallel you're posting about business plans
and 30 years experience and serious topics and that you're in touch with Canonical, Red Hat and buddys with their respective CEO's et al.
You want to be taken seriously? Then you should probably reflect your behaviour.

I certainly got a sense of humour, but this is not something that I think is particularly funny at all to me.
With that said, as all the relevant information on the logo topic has been posted, and this is going offtopic.
If you don't have anything constructive to add that is ontopic, then just leave it at that.

Seriously, why do you need to lock my account every time I post something?

This is the 4th time that I need to create a new account now. Nothing that I said here requires my account to be locked.

I suspect this account will now be locked again, after posting this.
Now i'll refrain from using inappropriate signatures.
