This is also another recurring topic that normally shows up on either 
the discuss list or the marketing lists. It comes up about every 6 
months or so. You can most likely find more examples/discussions if you 
just google the words "LibreOffice" and "mascot" or ...

Our v.4.0 is the first version to finally break out on its own and find 
itself untied to OOo so, people are just now discovering the LibreOffice 
brand. We should be working to marketing the brand itself before any 
mascot. Plus we need more community involvement if we are going to 
talk/design/adopt a mascot and it really has to be in a very polished state.

I agree with Charles that talking of adopting a mascot for the 
LibreOffice brand is still way too early.

Cheers,

Marc
