Re: [uug] T-shirt Contest

[Richard Miller]

Like Danelle, I like the idea of a black t-shirt.  I'm no artist so I 
can't do the sketching myself, but I'd like to see a t-shirt with the 
Linux prodigy from the IBM commercial[1].  We could have a mosaic of 
all the famous people in the commercial (Muhammad Ali, etc.) on the 
front and the line "The Future is Open" on the back with a little 
picture of the white-haired kid.  (AH, or maybe a Brady Bunch-style 3x3 
grid on the front with the kid in the middle and all the famous people 
around him.  Hahaha.)

I feel slightly alienated by the Penguin since I am a Mac OS X guy.  I 
guess I feel better about the Linux prodigy because the theme is The 
Future is Open.  Also, I'm not a CS major (may I please still stay on 
the list?) and I don't think I code enough to identify with "I code so 
you don't have to".  So maybe I'm in the minority on all that, but I do 
see Linux, Mac OS X, open source, etc. as being bigger than they are 
now.  This may be the year that Linux makes it big on the desktop; 
Linux/open source may be the only real, up-and-coming competitor to 
Microsoft; and I think open source is a better business model.  SO, I'd 
like to see a t-shirt that reflects a more mainstream approach to Linux 
and open source.  Maybe "mainstream Linux/open source" isn't even a 
reality yet, but we can envision it now and make a t-shirt that helps 
people understand it.  And if it were anti-Microsoft or anti-SCO I 
wouldn't mind that either.

I like the slogan on the front, but that penguin has got to go.
