BTW: Suse does successfully do marking at German schools (Linux for
schools to replace Windows for training, education and administrative
work, the same is done at universities) with their green chameleon and
has even donated some large versions (> 2m) to some kindergartens in
the Nürnberg/Germany area, gaining at least the favour of the local
government with this strategy.
Maybe the mascot should appear within the community projects but not
for the enterprise stuff?
