These could be a metaphor of Maemo and its kde, debian, android, jaunty children (one of those children could be mer, just at the point of evolving into a lobster...)
But again, maybe I'm just getting crazy
Rotfl Pray tell, what on earth does a baby Opabinia look like??

to get us started, i think whatever we come up with should be available in finger puppet format!

(Just FYI, I started this thread because I mentioned a maemo mascot over in the uniform thread as a joke and got three replies in a row saying it was genuinely a good idea.)
Personally I've always been dubious about the benefit of mascots, BUT... when you think about it they do exist on an awful lot of successful open source projects, and maybe they help to make the projects more noticeable, memorable and approachable.

On top of that, so many others have used the penguin by now that it's really become cliche'. So sticking with something a bit more original would be best.
It's Linux, shouldn't it be a penguin of some sort? Serious, Tattooed, Branded, tablet in hand, something?
Maybe possibly an idea like this:

[I didn't zip through all 25 pages of responses to this, so yell if it's already been suggested...]
A penguin stuffed into a small (clear) box.
I wish I could draw.
The penguin would be smashed in there, but have a smile on it's face, to show that it's alright
That's what came to mind instantly when I saw this thread title.

real difference between logo animal/name/mascot
the real point of a mascot is to can be personified by someone in event or in video ''see movement/movable/costume''
Opabinia be very cool but can you build a ''real'' costume for drees and make jump lol
raccoon is too much similart like firefox in my head
hum
i waiting for more inspiration to make my own try on the subject soon
