A new mailing list has been set up for the “Ubuntu For All” project:
https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/Ubuntu-for-all
The project currently aggregates: Ubuntu Accessibility, Ubuntu LGBT, Ubuntu Youth and Ubuntu Women.
I blogged yesterday about a questionable women representation that got into Planet Ubuntu-fr.
I did not feed it into Planet Ubuntu-Women, or in Planet Ubuntu-Users. I also closed the comments, I already got into this kind of discussion (this fun, this is art, this is a (copyrighted) drawing, you have no humor, watch TV…) and heard […]
