BLUA stands for Bangladesh Linux Users Alliance, a LUG formed in 2002 primarily to promote the use of GNU/Linux in the country. We’ve come a long way, and today we officially represent Ubuntu and Fedora in Bangladesh as well as working as the local affiliate of Creative Commons.
We’ve started working on to give a complete face-lift to our website, and as a part of it we’ve come up with a new logo for our organisation. Since this blog post will get aggregated on Planet Ubuntu and Planet Fedora, I’d like to take this opportunity to get feedbacks about the logo from all of you. There are some brilliant graphic designers in our community and I’ll sure with all of your inputs we can improve the logo! Please let me know what you honestly think about it, we’ll take all your comments and suggestions in account.
The logo was created by Adnan Quaium using Inkscape, and the font used comes with a “free for commercial use” license.
Ubuntu Bangladesh was formed in 28th April 2006, more than 4 years ago with the vision to create a solid platform for Ubuntu users and contributors in Bangladesh. We’re the official local community team in Bangladesh, recognised by Ubuntu Community Council and Ubuntu’s sponsor Canonical Ltd. It’s been a long journey, and I’m really glad that with all of your help, support, and contributions we’ve been able to achieve most of our major goals.
I’ve been working as the team leader of Ubuntu Bangladesh throughout these years, and I’ve decided to step down and hand over the team leadership to two of our very active volunteers, Shahriar Tariq and Shabab Mustafa. They have made a tremendous contribution for our team, for Ubuntu, and for Linux as a whole, and I strongly believe that Ubuntu Bangladesh will prosper even more under their new leadership and vision.
Here is the big list of all of the possible Skype emoticons and smileys that you can use in the Skype chat client, including the hidden and secret ones! It’s a long list, but I know that you love chatting with your friends and showing them these animated 3d smilies and emotes, so why don’t you just sit back, relax and choose from all of these Skype emoticons!
There are also a large number of hidden emoticons for Skype, as well as some secret emotes that they don’t tell you about in the software. Don’t worry, I’ve got all of them covered – just scroll down and you’ll see them!
Smile :) :=) :-)
The classic smile emoticon! If you’re ever Skyping with your boyfriend or best friends then you should send them this happy face!
Sad Smile :( :=( :-(
Ok, so you’re not always happy – and if you want to show that your emotion is a little negative, then why not put this sad Skype smiley out there?
Big Smile :D :=D :-D :d :=d :-d
If you’re ecstatic about something – you got engaged, you’re pregnant or you just broke your high score on Super Mario World, then do a BIG smile!
Cool 8) 8=) 8-) B) B=) B-) (cool)
There’s nothing cooler than a cool skype emoticon, and this one has the shades to match! There’s even a little sunlight glinting off the sunglasses to show how cool you are!

This spectacular “Blue Marble” image is the most detailed true-color image of the entire Earth to date. Using a collection of satellite-based observations, scientists and visualizers stitched together months of observations of the land surface, oceans, sea ice, and clouds into a seamless, true-color mosaic of every square kilometer (.386 square mile) of our planet. These images are freely available to educators, scientists, museums, and the public.
Much of the information contained in this image came from a single remote-sensing device-NASA’s Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer, or MODIS.
