How about a tardigrade for a mascot? What is a tardigrade you ask? Also known as water bears, they are adorable, and also perhaps the most indestructable creatures known to man. https://youtu.be/6H0E77TdYnY https://www.tumblr.com/search/tardigrade%20gif On Apr 26, 2017 3:26 AM, "Stefan Weiberg" <stefan.weiberg@germandev.org> wrote:To put my two cents in. The dragonfly is already used by DragonFly BSD and Opera Dragonfly.

The idea is similar to "Duke" from Java (https://kenai.com/projects/duke/pages/Home), SuSE's chameleon "Geeko", Mozilla has a lizard/godzilla/tyrannosaurus, Linux' "Tux" is famous, KDE is going with the dragon "Konqi" (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Konqi) and Krita has "Kiki" (https://krita.org/en/kiki/). The first step would be to find some metaphors that enables designs to be creative. Something like Freedom, Documents, Openness etc. Ideas for the realization are of course also welcome. The mascot could be an animal like a (grumpy old) cat to refer to the seven lives of LibreOffice or something more symbolic. Based on your input we would later start the actual design task, and ideally have a few options where the community can choose the best.
