Linux washing machine design by my wife

Hey guys an girls,

My lovely wife, who has been using linux for over a year has decided that we need a new washing machine. She entered the contest of a Belgian magazine so we can win one. To my great surprise she had made a linux design to enter the contest with.

Vote for Cheyenne’s design and she might win her lovely linux washing machine! Click on the link below then on STEM (=VOTE), put in your mail address, you’ll then get a mail and you have to click on the link to confirm your vote! You don’t have to be afraid that you will get spam afterwards, because Belgian law prohibits this. You have to give explicit permission before they can send you commercial email (we have an opt-in policy as opposed to the USA’s opt-out policy).

We just got married and can really use it, besides, how cool is it to have a linux washing machine… (and if we don’t win at least we’ve got linux on the front of a mayor Belgian website for a month. I was kind of surprise how many of our friends, who are obviously obliged to vote, asked me about that linux thing… I’ll be handing out lots of cdr’s in the next weeks).

Check it out, i’ll bet you’ll find it cute: (if you do not speak dutch nor french, we’ve detailed the voting procedure in English here: Linux LG washing machine design by my wife - Ubuntu Forums )

Thanks a bunch :slight_smile:

Oh and by the way I hope you don’t take offence to this post. We just feel very strongly about our favourite operating system (kernel). I just thought there might be more like us out there. Apparently there are: Linux LG washing machine design by my wife - Ubuntu Forums :wink:

Err… what´s the purpose of that site? Just showing the stile of the letters? Awesome.

Oh yes. I often visit Belgium, and I make sure to look at people’s washing lines…

If anyone is interested it is a still from Series 1 Episode 1 of “The Pingwings”, one of the first made by “Smallfilms” (Oliver Postgate and friends) who were also responsible for “Ivor the Engine” “Noggin the Nog” “Captain Pugwash” “Bagpuss” “The Clangers” etc etc. I have torrents if anyone wants them…

hehe cute washing machine. I gave my vote. best of luck in the contest!

14

Yay. nice, nice design, way different from the group, very noticeable.
Hope she wins.:slight_smile:

15

Gave my vote. Looks like you have a nice lead so far. Congratulations on your new life! :wink:

When’s the contest up by the way? Let us know what happens!

Thanks for the votes everyone. My wife and I are very much flattered by the support from the community.

The contest will be over November 14th at midnight. We’re still in the lead, but only by 28 votes (we used to lead with more than 50). So whoever wins, it’s going to be a close call. Luckily you only need to win by one vote :wink:

I’m just hoping none of our contestants pulls a blitzkrieg strategy…
