  Good point Allan, we don't want to use any animals already in the O'Reilly menagerie, so we shall remove the armadillo from our list!


  Thanks for checking that out.


  That leaves:


  1.  Bat (popular Austin animal)
  2.  Oyster/Clam (source of pearls)
  3.  Camel-Tauntaun Hybrid (may need further logistical consideration)


  Perling,

    Hi,


    although I suggested the armadillo I realize it does grace the cover of another O'Reilly book: Essential System Administration (http://shop.oreilly.com/product/9780596003432.do). We should probably reject it lest we be mistaken for sysadmins! :-)

      Howdy Mongers,


      At our business meeting this week, we had a fabulous presentation about Mojolicious by Allan Cochrane of ARM, and we also discussed our awesome sponsor Hostgator's ideas for upcoming YAPC t-shirts.


      We need to decide on an official Austin.pm mascot, which will be artistically rendered by Hostgator's talented graphics personnel, and included on the t-shirts along w/ Hostgator's Snappy alligator mascot and the also-as-yet-unchosen Houston.pm mascot.


      Our current mascot ideas are:


      1.  Bat (popular Austin animal)
      2.  Armadillo (popular Austin animal)
      3.  Oyster/Clam (source of pearls)
      4.  Camel-Tauntaun Hybrid (may need further logistical consideration)


      Do we have any other serious ideas?


      Which ones do you love and which ones do you hate?


      We need to discuss this via the e-mail list, and we will have the official vote at the March 25th business meeting.


      Perling,
      ~ Will Braswell, Austin.pm Prez
