Who does not want such a gift

This post is showing naked women packaged as a present (for openSUSE's 5th birthday) and asks Ah... who does not want such a gift, eh.

I believe that the female users and contributors of openSUSE don't. It reduces them to pretty things, judged on their looks instead of their contribution.

Raul, please stop such sexist postings. Your blog is your own, but keep it out from Planet openSUSE.

Just in case common sense is not enough, let me quote for reference the relevant section of the openSUSE Guiding Principles:

We value... respect for other persons and their contributions, for other opinions and beliefs. We listen to arguments and address problems in a constructive and open way. We believe that a diverse community based on mutual respect is the base for a creative and productive environment enabling the project to be truly successful. We don't tolerate social discrimination and aim at creating an environment where people feel accepted and safe from offense.
and the activities in order to excel in our goals: Emphasize the value of communication and recognize cultural diversity within our community.
