expanding Fedora user base

[Jeremy Hogan]

Parrots to 95% of the world are just pretty birds that are smart enough to
learn to speak. Unless you've owned one, or spent more than a visit with
someone who has one, you don't know how cranky and high maintenance they
are. On that note, cranky and high maintenance aren't that far off the
Fedora brand, are they? ;-)

/me ducks.

Seriously though, if we wanted to be exact with our mascot, it'd be a
pimply, pasty fat kid who laughs at you when you can't configure X on your
widescreen laptop. After all, the American Bald Eagle is a glorified
buzzard, but it looks noble and majestic and fits on coins and has grown to
embody the meanings US propagandists have made it mean. The mascot, if we
choose to have one, just needs to be recognizable as being ours. Unless we
have an animal commonly found wearing a felt brimmed hat, parrots are fine.
So are dolphins, monkeys, and Kodiak Marmosets if we choose to create an
identity around them.
