But I don't know what to suggest here... Maybe we should then consider an animal from Antarctica, or one that's known to have a species there, to at least have a mascot from that continent. Maybe puffins? [1] They are small, fast and can live in both sea and land. They also to some extent, and with some imagination, resemble little penguins, which may also convey the "think tiny Linux" motto. 1. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Puffin -- or with a better looking front image: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atlantic_puffin On Fri, Jun 19, 2020 at 10:19 AM Erdem MEYDANLI <emeyda...@gmail.com> wrote: > > Thank you, Nathan.
