Our colorful future
Everyone in Exoweb has seen this already, but for all you others out there, I thought I’d share
This was the (or one of the) April Fool’s joke at Exoweb:
Subject: Our colorful future To: all at exoweb
Hi all,
We had a final office renovation meeting Saturday where we went through the final list of changes that has to be made before people move in. It was mostly minor stuff, except one:
We didn’t feel the colors in the office were exciting enough, and we all felt we should go for one strong color across all rooms. A long discussion ensued where the options were hot pink, pitch black, and flurescent green. Kelly, speaking on behalf of the ladies, was pushing for hot pink, whereas Holden thought the green would counteract the greyness of Beijing, and Darren and I thought black would contrast nicely with our computers, which we’ve decide will be all white in the future.
In the end Kelly won out (maybe because she also promised she’d get all the ladies to wear pink boots from now on), so we’ll do everything in hot pink.
Kelly is talking to the furniture company to see if we can get pink desks, chairs, and partitions, and Holden will see how much Wuye will ask for to have us paint the outside walls on the 5th floor pink too. We also decided to make our exoweb logo pink, so we’ll have to find a way to make the pink logo stand out on the otherwise pink walls. Attached are 3d renderings by Holden showing the office in it’s pinkness from different angles. The last image shows the pink logo wall with the pink logo on it.
This is going to add significantly to the costs, and will take another 3 weeks to complete.
Sorry for the delays, but hope you can understand it’s so that we can all have a nice place to work.
I believe Vivi and Rena are going to HK, and are taking orders for those of you that want to accessorize with matching “Hello Kitty” products; see http://www.sanrio.com/ and ask them nicely to bring back some.
Mrrrreow!

Cool!
I guess it would be enjoyable to work at a open source corp with pink color in the office.
I’m look forward to visiting the company at TanShuiYuan next Monday.
wish the company a bright future.
