I think it should have a Lizard rocking or something like that or even surfing a wave or(why not?) have four lizards do similar things and in front of all that the number 11( 11+ 4 lizards having fun)so that we show people that we have fun with openSUSE and we ride the wave of change , bring symbolism to the cover and give the ambassadors a reason to mention the cover in their presentations, I think that something like that would be another innovating thing we can do. That is some of my thoughts and my suggestions if you like it I could make a bigger expand of it... Kostas
