Quoting Javad Kouhi <[email protected]>:
Hi,
I'm new to OpenBSD and this is my first post in this list. I'm writing an
article about OpenBSD in the Persian Wikipedia. The article is here:
http://fa.wikipedia.org/wiki/OpenBSD
My problem is that the history of Puffy (or OpenBSD's logo in general) is
not clear. There is some information about the old logo on the:
http://www.mckusick.com/beastie/shirts/openbsd.html
but it is not enough. I need some information such as:
* When Puffy became official logo of OpenBSD?
* Who created Puffy?
* What exactly Puffy is? A pufferfish or a porcupinefish?
I've been Googling for this information but found nothing. Also, as far as
I understood, there is no information about Puffy on the OpenBSD website.
Do you have a reference for this?
Also, As far as I understood, there are other obsolete logos such as:
http://www.openbsd.org/art/BSDCop_4bit.gif
Is there any information on these obsolete logos too?
And one another thing, the "Media Coverage" section on the website was
very helpful as it contains many third-party references. But it is not
updated since 2011, please consider updating it.
Thanks!
I think puffy is a blowfish and has some relationship to this information
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blowfish_%28cipher%29
I have OpenBSD CD's from 2.9 onwards and will look to see if there are
any hints there on the CD covers/pamphlets, over the weekend.
HTH,
