Re: Result: Logo for the 10th anniversary - request for approval

  Hi Florian,

I'd like to join you in sharing thoughts :-) By the way, to steal 
Charle's thunder, I am neither mad nor do I hate anyone. I am still 
doing my job as before and I am pretty much confident that I will 
continue improving the UX of OpenOffice.org in the future, for quite 
some time. So no hard feelings at all.

I am just thinking how ironic it seems, at least for me, that the 
company that is paying money for the infrastructure you all use in this 
very moment is being bashed in a way that makes all of us look very 
pathetic. The other thing that I've been observing so far is that those 
who are not sure if they like TDF or OpenOffice.org more are treated 
with very little respect. Especially on the Germanophone list.

Regards,
Andreas
