The Community Cafe
The Community Chat area is for lighthearted and enjoyable discussions, like you might find around a water cooler at work.

Almost any non-tech-support topic may be discussed here. Discussions on religion and politics are not allowed, except for politics directly related to free and open source issues.

Talking Microsoft seems to have stolen Ubuntu logo

Just logged into my MSN account, and checked out MSN's Spaces. Have a look at the logo Microsoft made for this feature (attached). Looks pretty nice, doesn't it. Should have gone with more "earthy colours", but at least it's far from porn

Anyone thinking of registering there? Maybe registering under name like Ubuntu_User and with pages describing how MS is ripping off Ubuntu theme.

I'd say - register an account and set up a photo-album with loads of nice Ubuntu artwork. Find as many different Ubuntu-Human-logos as possible. Maybe we should register an account and post the username and password here, and maintaining the album is a community effort

Could start off with the Ubuntu logo, the "porn" and the latest nerdy 1 April GDM-splash that's suddenly turned up as my GDM theme after my 1 April dist-upgrade. Would be *great*!

or Wubuntu.

EDIT: Has other websites such as osnews, newsforge or slashdot catch this "news" yet? Someone could email their editors if it hasn't.
