[advocacy-discuss] Latest OpenSolaris T-shirt artwork

[Dale Ghent]

I think it looks great and certainly stands out amongst the sea of  
other rather pedestrian Linux distro logos and shirts out there[1]

As if the world needed another solid-color t-shirt with nothing but  
plain, slightly rearranged olympic rings on it. This rendering looks  
awesome, and I'd really like me one or two.
