-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hey all,
No idea who's behind this marketing decision, but... http://perkypants.org/blog/2007/08/20/linux-for-ladies/ As discussed in #debian-women earlier...does that mean that ladies are no longer human beings now? [19:15] <seanius> i'll defer to the "ladies" on whether it is or not, but i would read that line as "because normal linux is too hard for ladies" [19:18] <liw> hmm... that'd imply that ubuntu's "linux for human beings" implies normal linux is too hard for humans? [19:19] <Sharrow> That and the men's shirt says "linux for human beings" implying that ladies are some weird subset with these odd sticky out bits. [19:24] <Baby> yup, saw it, it really sucks <snip> [19:26] <Baby> well, we're not human beings anymore. I guess :) [19:26] <Baby> according to Ubuntu at least :P This is important, as it seems to be (unintentionally, i'm sure) offending half of the world's population, and so therefore half of the possible candidates who may end up using Ubuntu. It's food for thought, at least - please CC the relevant people beyond this mailing list.
