Now that we have a Linux avatar, how about a BSD d(a)emon avatar?

The one I had in mind was this one.

The appropriate appropriate way to ask for permission to use the demon image is here:

I would be more than happy to start a dialog with Marshall, but it would probably be more appropriate if someone from AT contacted him.

Thanks!

I emailed him and said that if he was interested, I'd shrink it to an avatar-sized .gif and send it to him for approval, and if he approved he could forward it, with written approval, to Zuni for the final yes/no. Obviously there is no room for a © symbol on avatars, but we'll see what he says.

Yep, a BSD Daemon would be cool.
Other suggestions off the top of my head:
The Suse lizard

I'd quite like a Sqirrel icon, and something else frostily related 😛

Perhaps we should take a break on the icon requests 🙂

I think the problem with using either a BSD or SuSE avatar is that those logos are license property of those companies. Tux the penguin is just a generic icon for Linux in general. I don't think it's a copyrighted trademark.

I think we have enough icons for now.

as long as you approve my roll of TP 😀

I received a reply to my email. The owner of the BSD Daemon character doesn't give permission for its use as an avatar.

Oh. That sucks. :-( Well, sorry I brought it up. I'll lobby for the OpenBSD puffer fish in a week or so. 🙂
