Yup, totally agree.

This is more of a mascot festival rather than mascot contest. :-)

As for including it as part of the website branding, or other "official"ness, there'd probably be Nokia to get involved as owners of the Maemo trademark. Best leave that battle for another day, methinks.
Nobody was asking council to mandate anything. I think it was more, should maemo have a mascot, should there be a contest similar to the maemo logo contest. I personally would like to see an official mascot, for the project, but thats up to YOU to get Nokia involved if you think it would be a good idea.

So the question went out to Council, should we have an official mascot? (Not will you make everyone use a Raccoon or a Narwhal)

Whatever design you agree on, be sure to let Stupid Little Genius have a go at it !
S.L.G. has a flair for making sketches alive and personal.

@ Stupid Little Genius :

Don't let them make you modify your designs to much, they might lose some of their personality.

I bet no project yet has ever had a cambrian sea animal as a mascot.

I really thought Debernardis was crazy.

But I like it, way better than the narwhal

I was going to suggest a bacterium as a mascot, but looking at their photos they look too much like a tampon crossed with a sperm.
