Hi all,
what do you think about a dragonfly (odonata) [1], [2]. Carl von Linné
called it: "Libellula" and so we get to "LibO".
It is an animal which we can find all over the world (except Antarctica).
"They are fast, agile fliers, sometimes migrating across oceans [...] They
are symbols of courage, strength, and happines [...]". [1]
"Dragonflies are strong fliers with fairly robust bodies" [2]
"Dragonflies are powerful and agile fliers, capable of migrating across
oceans, moving in any direction, and changing direction suddenly. In flight,
the adult dragonfly can propel itself in six directions: upward, downward,
forward, back, to left and to right.
[...] The wings are powered directly, with the flight muscles attached to
the wing bases. Dragonflies have a high power/weight ratio, and have been
documented accelerating at 4 G linearly and 9 G in sharp turns while
pursuing prey.["
They are beautiful with many different colours.
They are grown up from larvae (OOO).
They are predators (@Cor).

For me, I keep thinking that LO is slowly working to take on various
platforms. So far, LO has taken over Linux's platforms from
OpenOffice.org
- from day one. Then Windows and Mac platforms came quickly. Although
LO
has not made really much headway against MS Office, to me it seems LO is
slowly gaining a market share a little at a time. LO is working on an
Android version and later I do not doubt Apple's IOS will see a version.
Sounds like a cute virus :-)
(Such a mascot would have the added value of being a massage ball)
As an intermediate state, the metaphors we do have so far:
* Freedom (dove like bird, though occupied by Apache OpenOffice; and
disliked by some)
* Speed/Improvement (fast birds)
* (Smart and not aggressive) Hunter (bird of prey, raptor)
* Intelligence (Weimeraner dog on G+ "good hunter and faithful pet but
requires lots of exercise")
* Openness
* Documents/Wisdom (Owl)
* Cuteness / Seven lives (Big? grumpy? kitten or puppy dog)
* Speed (Horse, though used by EuroOffice; and disliked by some)
That's a pretty good basis for skilled designers. Anything else?
