Open Stack

Hello everybody.

I started my preparations for the summit in Barcelona and planned to print a sticker book with my logo (a guinea pig) as well as mascot logos of all of my favourite projects. I visited https://www.openstack.org/project-mascots/ and I found no mascot proposal for the documentation team :(

I contacted Heidi and asked her if it would be possible to make a very very late proposal for a mascot and she said “yes, we can make that happen”. Let’s take this chance and select a mascot for documentation.

OpenStack has a lot of projects and a lot of fitting animals are already taken:

* A white whowl would be nice, already taken by TripleO.

* A ant would be nice as well, a lot of ants do a lot of small steps, resulting in a pretty big documentation. Ant is already taken by infrastructure.

* The same for a bee. The bee is already taken by Restock.

A bookworm would be nice, but according to the guidelines imaginary animals are not allowed and I fear a bookwork is an imaginary animal.

After the metamorphose a worm will be a butterfly. The same for a bookworm, of course. A butterfly is flying/staying over the things and looks great. And the butterfly is not yet taken by an other project.

What do you think about a butterfly?

What do you think about a bookworm? (Keep in mind that a bookworm is probably not allowed and a real worm is not that nice.)

Do you have other proposals?

Do you want to discuss if we want to have/need a mascot? Even Nova has finally selected one.

Looking forward for feedback,

Christian.
