So... I overstepped here and jumped to a conclusion based on an
incorrect understanding of people's sentiments. And there has been some
concern expressed that part of this conversation was private, which is a
valid concern. I'm sorry about all of that.

Let's start afresh...

What's been publicly suggested so far (from all ML posts that seem to
contain a suggestion):

ant - alexis (already chosen by infra)
bee - alexis (already chosen by refstack)
star - heidi
supernova - markus, auggy, bob ball
octopus - chris (already chosen by UX)

I'd suggest that we actually combine star/supernova into one item to
give the graphic designers some flexibility and creativity. With less
distinctive features than animals, the freedom is probably needed to
make something cool.

Are there other suggestions? Those items already chosen by other teams
are out of bounds per the FAQ
(http://www.openstack.org/project-mascots). We can leave this open for
the rest of the week, and if there are additional valid options do an
ATC poll next week.
