is this really the right use of the word "controversy"? Now the firebird debates... there was some controversy. this is more just "hey, should we really use hot chicks in our artwork in the version localized for the UAE?"

Anyone who's on the ubuntu-users list would probably describe it as a controversy... there's been hundreds of messages on the topic :)

I wish the summaries linked back to the actual thread. It would make it easier to find the full discussion on threads on is interested in.

The controversial artwork is no longer the default:

You can still get it in the "ubuntu-calendar" package.

The conversation about the artwork didn't happen at all during the week in which this traffic covered. The next version of Ubuntu Traffic will summarize the conversation about the atwork. :)
