Hi, I like the mascot idea, and all the animals proposed. But I liked specially the turtle idea, somehow embedded :) Also, the idea of the "nut" and the origins in Costa Rica but somehow universal animal lead me to think in hermit crabs, specifically juvenile coconut crabs: it seems they use coconut shells as house to live in.
Somehow they "match" some of the ideas of NuttX: hermit crabs are quite ubiquitous, the are open to new ideas and hacking friendly to adapt whatever available to build his house, which is small or big but always tight to the needs (like different target chip/boards), also usually externally is a shell, or even a "nuttshell" (like coconut shells for crabs in Costa Rica). Also crabs looks quite "robotic" to me, and some crustaceans like mantis shrimps are very fast and precise, yet simple and not very dangerous animals, though definitively not the typical pet. So a crab happily embedded in his coconut shell could be a funny idea of a logo to me, if someone artistically inclined want to extend it :) Cheers, /Miguel El vie., 19 jun. 2020 21:05, Erdem MEYDANLI <emeyda...@gmail.com> escribió: > >>> > My favorite animal, my "totem animal" is a turtle.
