The "e" is the winking eye, see?

how about a peacock mantis shrimp? small but powerful, it pummels its prey to pulp before consuming it.

or a triops? its eggs can survive harsh conditions and hatch after up to 25 years. small and.... uh, well-adapted, i guess...?

sugar glider? small and cute.

Enter Opabinia regalis. This nice Cambrian sea inhabitant had not less than 5 eyes and a nice single trunk with claws.
It's the ideal mascotte, also because you can draw it as you like (she left us only its fossils, smiling :-)
BTW I was an Opabinia in my previous life :cool:
That's it, that's the one!

Another vote for the panda... maybe a tiny panda? The problem is that the black and white panda is actually the "Giant Panda", which is kinda weird for a portable distro like Maemo.

Another idea: a raccoon? The ae of maemo could go over the eyes, like a mask...

EDIT: ...like the Minix mascot... sigh... http://www.minix3.org/logo.gif

EDIT2: AHA! The RED PANDA!! Small, cute, not used as far as I can see...

I like red panda a lot. Nice. Another one to think about is a Lynx. (You know.. a Linux Lynx!) :)

That's a great page. You can see the % of probability of you actually liking a mascot of a free software project. Now, is there any page listing the projects not having any mascot?

(Sorry for the boring answer from a former contributor of Debian, Ubuntu and GNOME - find the common denominator of these projects). :)

First off, let me say that I am extremely disappointed that we can't use a qole as our mascot... It was going to be my suggestion :P

Also, I do like qole's raccoon modification. I think it's the best so far.

That or the narwhal.

You know what? It's the narwhal :p It'd just be really funny.

So, clearly, the mascot (whatever it is) should be named, "Monica." :p
