[lugm.org] Linuxfest 2013

[Ronny R.]

@ISH and others, sending a letter to the govt to accept the Mauritius in
the definition, done that a few years ago, and answer was a HUGE NO.

so Don Quichotte, forget it.


second thing about the mauritius colors of our flag, i dont thing having a
logo like the dress of miss mauritius would be good, unless obeegadoo is
part of your family,

For me the tux with a chapeau la paille suites me very fine.

And since when was recreating the logo was into discussion?

Id prefer you guys would concentrate on a nice site WITH CONTENTS for the
linuxfest instead of recreating the wheel.

Cheers

RR
