Re: NetBSD Mascot Proposal

[Jay Patel <jaypatel.ani%gmail.com@localhost>]

I also had another concept that we can have robot mascot but as actual robot which only three boar members will keep and it will of course run using NetBSD and can be developed with OSS hardwares available in market :) 

Other plush toys of robot can be made available but we can have actual robot in foundation which will also be programmed :P

For eg. Boston Dynamic has "spot"

Thanks and Regards ,

I rather liked the 'group' idea because they were all, you know, "networked" together.

Hi all,

Maybe there could be few mascots instead of one ?

Old logo was a group of mascots with devices and computers around them, but also possible to have them independently.

This squirrel with a pumpkin is a cute idea and I support it.
