I also love the idea of Inside Jack as a spokesman.  Someone (dunno who,
I haven't followed the thread too closely) suggested the idea of a phoenix
as the OpenSolaris mascot.  I think this is an *EXCELLENT* idea.  Apart
from being cool, a phoenix has the right symbology wrt to those that thnk
that [Open]Solaris has risen from the ashes.

Just don't name him Fawkes, or we'll have Harry Potter's people on our
backs!  :-)
