Re: NetBSD Mascot Proposal

> The next step is to add colors and bright on it. Any thoughts?

Hi, I preferred the original item 3 draft (also together with item 1), 
as it felt more organic and animal than this one.  We are probably gonna 
be surrounded by robots in the future (and we're spending our time 
living inside them already), so please let's avoid having a mascot 
remind us of them yet again.

The original beastie from (mckusick.com) is more of a character from 
Tweety & Sylvester than a "transformer".  I suppose the eye look could 
be made less frightening in that manner, and I suggest that the sign 
with the hand also got changed to something that does not involve 
displaying any pride nor any direct interaction with the audience.  My 
point is that the mascot already personifies some intention or some 
movement by itself: a mascot should not consciously do advocacy.

In short, I like the idea of a little animal resembling the original 
beastie running after light.  Much less a reminder of Bill Joy's fear of 
our future (which might not need us).
