It's from the guys who do Linux Journal magazine.
Its actually Carlie Fairchild's baby, but she stays (mostly)
invisible in the process.

I strongly suspect that Carlie is the voice behind "Mango Parfait",
but she refuses to divulge the identity or admit to being same.
Otaku ("Geek") (Mango's technical boyfriend) is semi-obviously her
real-life boyfriend, who constantly shows up in photos surrounded by
gadgets and wires.

The current issue's editorial references an article
(http://www.brazzilmag.com/index.php?
option=com_content&task=view&id=4170&Itemid=49) about Brazil's plan
to bring Linux desktops and computers to their people. According
to the Ministry of Science and Technology, Marcelo Lopes, 500
thousand units should be sold in a period of four to six months.
Brazil is also the 'hotbed' of Orkut subscribers and activity (just
to tie-in the other thread).
