No, I meant what I said and what I said speaks for itself. I understand very few understood what I said, but the only way I know how to make them grasp my concerns is a one-way ticket to Russia.
I am not disputing that it's a well-engineered piece of technology. It may even be superior.
That's irrelevant.
I expect a level of professionalism and ethical behavior from an open-source project, especially if I rely on it pretty heavily. Placing communist imagery in the logo isn't amusing. And no Russian would find it amusing. I certainly don't. I prefer that my software not make any political statements. Especially if the system it purports to support is responsible for the death of millions of people.
- Vidart 14y agoWhere did you find "communist imagery in the logo"? http://nginx.org/nginx.gif http://nginx.org/nginx.gif
- TeMPOraL 14y agohttp://wiki.nginx.org/images/8/83/Nginx-logo.svg http://wiki.nginx.org/images/8/83/Nginx-logo.svg Old one was better, IMO. "Communist imagery" had some style.
- Vidart 14y agoIt's not the "old one". Actually, the green logo was made by Igor Sysoev and it is the oldest and the only official logo. That one from "wiki.nginx.org" is made by Cliff Wells, creator of the wiki: http://www.enemyofthestatement.com/page/view/about http://www.enemyofthestatement.com/page/view/about btw, it's funny, @maratd who wrote "Placing communist imagery in the logo isn't amusing" doesn't even imagine that it actually was done by US citizen.
- maratd 14y ago> Actually, the green logo was made by Igor Sysoev and it is the oldest and the only official logo. Perform a simple whois on nginx.org and you will see that Igor Sysoev is the registrant. That logo appears on his website over which he has complete control, even now. I was always taught to assume the best about people. I will assume that you are correct, that another gentleman who is either ignorant or has a poor sense of humor created and used the logo. I will assume that Mr. Sysoev is far too nice to tell Mr. Wells to take it down. I retract what I previously said. EDIT: I have read the comment which you posted below, in Russian. Mr. Sysoev said that he didn't make it and doesn't like it, for the same reasons I gave earlier. It seems he is too nice to tell the gentleman to take it down. I apologize for what I said.
