Out of all the submissions Libbie was the only one that looked like an actual mascot and not like something out of a late 90s clipart collection, yet it supposedly didn't make it into the top 10. I'm smelling BS here.
If they didn't want to listen to people what was the point in having a voting in the first place? So that if people didn't like the mascot they could have an excuse like "well, that's what was voted for".

Depending on the art's terms you may actually be allowed to do what he did, assuming he bought the graphic. I do this kind of stuff all the time at work, when we need some graphic we buy stock vector graphics and modify them to our needs.

Shutterstock doesn't own that Penguin. It's just some generic clip art that can be found on a bunch of sites.

I mean really why the fuck do they need to do this they could have just said "oh well we didn't want our mascot to be too similar to Krita's mascot/too anime-y" or something.

These are factors that are key to good graphic design, to be able to render the design at *any* size and have it look just as good.

Libbie is more angular, but beyond that, I’d say they look noticeably similar (others have pointed this out as well, so it’s not just me). The male render was not the main design either, it was a possible variant but was not chosen out of the ones given. Her base design does resemble Kiki to a significant degree.

I'm 100% sure the contest is dead in the water.
Clipart pengu is #1 now, they definitely didn't plan on it but the votes are terribly skewed, so they can call the whole thing off and pick a mascot on their own. They gave up on resetting the votes or cleaning up the pajeet jokes. They're also getting fair amount of shit in the comments, saying that the voting doesn't work and that their process wasn't transparent enough. But taking in account how they handle the situation (aka silently) they won't really publish anything or own up, most likely they'll just pick the mascot they originally intended to, saying the the voting didn't work.

The main thing we need is a way to find out the results from the first vote. It's a simple matter of transparency from TDF/LibreOffice('s Design Team). And while there's only a laptop, drawing tablet, and some other thing at stake, that's still around over a thousand dollars total, which for a FOSS project is not an insignificant amount.

There is absolutely no feasible way that half of that shit made it to the fucking finals but Libbie didn't, absolutely no way. There's especially no way that somebody who's already designed mascots for several other FOSS projects didn't make it to the finals either. I mean, fuck, if they wanted it to be a believable lie, they should have at least gotten Libbie to the end, then rigged it at the last moment. Instead it's so glaringly obvious that they rigged it.

I dunno about that, but I just remembered that GitHub has some dumb octopus thing, and Calamares (the installer) had some Octopus thing for a logo (the name is very close to Calamari intentionally). In addition I'm sure at least 2 or 3 other FOSS projects use an octopus, which further blows the shitty "too similar to an existing project's mascot/logo" reason the design team guy had.

Tyson loves FOSS. He made that entry fair and square, and it was all original work that he clearly put his heart into. I mean weeks of research and a month to draw. Think about that. His love of FOSS and his passion for drawing, all to be thrown out by the organizers under dubious claims of not getting enough votes, as well as last minute rules. And it's not just Tyson. Remember that beaver? It seemed original, and clearly had work put into it. There were quite a few truly original designs that, while might not have been as good or innovative as Libbie, still had effort and (some degree of) care put into them. Tyson, and the other artists who didn't get into the finals, all deserve answers. I don't usually like to do things myself, but now, I think I might just do something. I'll email the FOSS outlets I have in mind myself, and I'll make sure to make them damn good emails.
It's fucking ridiculous. What should have been a simple, uncontroversial mascot competition has turned into this. Many good artists ejected, and we're left with fucking garbage like this? What the fuck is going on behind the scenes? Why the need for all this? They could have easily said that Tyson's submission might have not been appropriate for corporate environments, or fucking ANYTHING half-believable. Instead they gave us half-baked "rules" that are violated by most of the finalists, and manipulate the shit out of the booru votes.
But we gotta do more. WE NEED TO THINK WHAT MORE WE CAN DO.
While before we laughed at the prizes, the cost adds up to over $1000, which as I said earlier, is not an insignificant amount for a FOSS project.
We have MANY reasons to fight to get the truth out. We need to think carefully about what we can do.

If they're willing to rig the competition and lie about why Libbie lost, then they're willing to falsify the vote results I'd bet. That being said, I think emailing the FOSS outlets like the other anon suggested is a good idea. Like >>820643 said, it's not really like they have much else to cover most of the time. Most of them have covered the LO mascot competition already. So, at the very least, we could put some heat on LO.

==THIS==. This is perhaps the most important thing. While I'm sure someone might link our involvement to chans, we always have the option to be polite(ish) and composed. Part of why I was hesitant to bring up email. I'm just nervous about people going overboard and flooding random Foundation volunteers with shit. (REMEMBER, this is only the Design team that's involved, I'm sure the rest of the foundation has little to do with this.
That being said I think voting for the very good and original penguin on the booru is fair game.
NOW, before someone says "MUH PR", this isn't just about us. Like I said, I don't want any of the heat going on Tyson though guilt by association. He's gotta be careful, and we should respect that.

Guys I think I know why he deleted some of his stuff. I think he was scared that he got rejected because of the more "mature" stuff he drew. He even deleted it from his DA and his Tumblr. He loves his work, and to think that he went and scrubbed it all just to realize that it wouldn't change things... just makes this whole thing feel even worse. I really hope he re-uploads the deleted images. I really liked trap-Kiki

I'm highly doubtful that this path will A. work B. be productive for anything more than a giggle. It'd be better to get more FOSS specific press on this.

You know, it's pretty beautiful to think. If what >>820617 said is true, then the shit was rigged from the start and LO probably thought the whole thing would just fly under the radar.
