I like the idea of the animal mascot, it seems natural since a lot of projects do that :) I agree with the choice of the hedgehog, for several reasons: it's cute, and the "edgy" play-on-word with the EdgeBSD name :)Hi everyone, [I suggest we stick to the developers' list to discuss this, with users welcome to jump in of course] once again I would like to thank everyone who showed up during FOSDEM, it was a real pleasure to meet you all and make the project live like that. As it happens we talked about how it would be nice to have a mascot for the project, if even choosing an animal as tends to be the tradition for BSD systems. There seems to be a growing consensus (at least on the IRC channel) about choosing a hedgehog to represent the project, which should naturally be called "Edgy" then I guess. While I really like this idea myself, and find the connection to OpenBSD (spikes), video gaming (blue hedgehog) and heavy metal (famous UK band) personally appealing, I would like to ask here for both: - objections (if any) - drawings (please!) to contest for official use. For inspiration: I can picture a somewhat stylized hedgehog, possibly resembling the existing paint-roll-street-art-esque logo we have (may not be simple), facing the viewer, head down, frowning eyes, two horny spikes raised near the head, some other spikes visible this and there (possibly symmetrical). Any other suggestions welcome of course! I don't want to set a deadline for this. I'd say we'll choose the one we'll all »--<3--> at first sight ;) For Edgy, cheers! `(\./)' ¸ , — < \ \*/ /( o )<¯ ¯ (yes I'm bad at this)
Cool idea! -- Yann Sionneau
