In addition to coming up with a catch phrase or a very short
definition about what OpenSolaris is about, we also need a
mascot/logo - the current splattering of source code with the
"open(2)" is cute from a geek perspective but it is hardly the
kind of thing you could expect people to carry on boxes or cds
as a way of saying "we're OpenSolaris".

It looks like this has been discussed in the past but nothing
has gone anywhere.

What I'd like to see the OGB consider doing is:
- decide if we'll have a mascot or logo (or both)
- come up with a prize (monetary or otherwise)
- decide on some dates for when to run the competition
- announce opening of a competition
- collect submissions and have a vote to decide the best
- require winner to hand over copyright to OpenSolaris
- undertake the above with a clear understanding that
 it is possible that no entries may "win"

Lastly, I don't think that this course of action should be
in any way dependent on any other activity.
