Hey folks,
recently someone asked me if I can point out particular examples of sexist blogposts in the context of openSUSE community. So be it - here's the fresh one: http://rauhmaru.blogspot.com/2010/08/parabens-opensuse-5-anos-de- vida.html
It's not that I would be a close-minded prude - I wouldn't say a word if someone posted pics of nude or scantily clad chicks to his personal blog, not aggregated on a community Planet - but associating Playboy-like pics with 5th anniversary of openSUSE? How unproffesional (to put it mildly).
Unless, of course, the author of the post wanted to imply that we're the best and the stablest distro for pr0n server. Now everyone can answer a question if this is the kind of publicity we want for themselves.
Please drop this gentleman some nice comments :)

Hi, I reviewed this article and I agree whoeheartedly that this is an inappropriate graphic for the promotion of openSUSE's anniversary. I attempted to post a comment, (which I used Google Translate to convert my text to Portuguese) but ran into a problem dealing with its captcha, so I was unable to post, due to my vision impairment. But here's the translated text I attempted to post: Obrigado para comemorar o aniversário do openSUSE. No entanto, eu gostaria de pedir que você altere a foto, pois é considerado como um desrespeito pelas mulheres que participam no projecto openSUSE. Somos uma comunidade diversificada entre os países, idiomas e de gênero e devemos sempre fazer um esforço para não ser ofensivo, promovendo openSUSE. Obrigado!
