Hello all.
First of all let me congratulate to all of you who make possible this
great project, Gnome.
I'm just a user and I would never have thought of finding myself
writing to the gnome community, but sadly I have found myself morally
forced to do so.
A few minutes ago I was changing the background of my desktop and
clicked on the link to the backgrounds page in art.gnome site. Then,
in page #6 I find a picture titled "Hasta siempre" (forever!) of
Ernesto "Che" Guevara, one of worst sadistic serial killers known in
the whole history of mankind and turned into one of the biggest icons
of socialist totalitarianism.
Let me tell you that watching "that thing" have made me feel very sad,
as I believed and still believe that Gnome is not the place for that
kind of stuff, the same way that Gnome is not the place for showing
pictures of Adolf Hitler, Joseph Stalin, Pol Pot, Fidel Castro or any
kind of monsters like these ones, and the same way Gnome is not the
place for finding any type of apology of criminal ideologies.
I'm sorry I'm writing to all of you but first, I have not found any
e-mail address of administrators of gnome, an second, Gnome is a
community and as member of this community (as user and occasional bug
reporter) I think I have the right to share this thoughts with all of
you.
Please, you know the whole world is driving madder and madder in these
chaotic times of crisis, but I believe it is not so difficult to just
have a little of dignity, common sense and decency. In my opinion that
image of Ernesto "Che" Guevara and the like should not be part of this
great project, Gnome. I'm not asking for any kind of censorship or
political correctness, but just a sense of morality and respect in the
things we do.

It has not been my intention to offend anyone.
Thanks for your time and kind regards.
God bless you.
Antonius Iesus.
