OO.org Selects Its Own Sea Bird

Posted by ryuzaki0 on Sunday April 25, 2004 @02:40PM from the penguin-was-taken dept.

Elektroschock writes "A new mascot of the OO.org project was announced today: A crazy sea gull. I wonder whether it will help to convince office workers of Open Office. "Andrea [Maggioni]'s contribution is not only beautiful and effective but also illustrates the potential of young people to contribute importantly to real projects under the banner of Free and Open Source Software." Andrea, "whose cheerful drawing, of a fun-looking seagull holding a fish, plays on the "OOo" shorthand of OpenOffice.org"... ehemm, it's a crazy sea gull."

Ironically, while Nigel had an Australian accent, he certainly wasn't an Australian Pelican.
Apart from the orange bill, he's almost certainly an American Brown Pelican.
