Today is the last day you can submit your ideas on how the YaST Mascot should look like and the YaST Mascot name. The judging will begin on October 21, and the winner will be announced on October 27.

I wasn't even aware that there was such a contest. First news.

Not that I could participate, anyway...

Well, the YaST Mascot Contest is a lot about sharing the ideas not only about a graphical design.

If you don't have (any) graphical skills, just put your ideas on a piece of paper and scan/take a picture of them. Upload that picture to the wiki and comment it.

But the main problem is that, IMO, nobody knew about this contest. I have asked some people, and they had no idea. By the way, the big cat (Yo) reminds me of a kzin :-P And "Yo" means "I" in my language... - -- Cheers, Carlos E.

Same here. No one I've asked was aware this contest existed... OK, I haven't asked that many people, but so far it comes as a surprise to everyone. Was it announced in an openSUSE newsletter? This isn't the first time that something was happening, and the larger openSUSE community wasn't aware of it. How are we supposed to be alerted to things like this? newsletter? email? front page of the opensuse.org site? Somehow a bunch of us are missing out on a part of the community activities.

Definitely it should have been at News openSUSE.org at least. I thought I saw it there but now it seems I was wrong. Anyway, we'll announce it better, please, submit your ideas :) Thx & Bye Lukas -- Lukas Ocilka, YaST Developer (xn--luk-gla45d) ----------------------------------------------------------------- Ano, ano.

Bad luck :) Anyway, we'll hopefully extend the deadlines. We'll try to announce such things better next time. *shame*

Good :-)

I had to search for "Kzin" first ;) and ask the author then and ... no, author denies being inspired by Kzin as he didn't know Kzin either.

X'-) No, I was joking; I didn't think he was inspired on kzin, just that it reminds me of them. They are quite different, anyway. - -- Cheers, Carlos E.

Yeah. Not openSUSE mascot/logo in any form ;-)

It seems that announcement missed artwork-opensuse.org list again.
