Admittedly I have not read this whole thread, but based just on the 
mascot discussion.... I have always felt that Jack is the perfect mascot 
for this project 
(http://www.sun.com/aboutsun/media/features/insidejack1/index.html).

Yes, I am serious. No one is using Jack anymore, we could "adopt" him 
(or I could at least try).
