OpenPuppets.com include a cute Ubuntu character

[bgreinfeld]

Hello, today (in a few hours) we upload to our site a new pet for Ubuntu plus some wallpapers. Our design try to follow Ubuntu's philosophy using something relevant form South Africa... our election was a Springbok.
We love our character has a very important place in OpenPuppets world (http://en.openpuppets.com).
It's not a official pet, is just our version for Ubuntu in OpenPuppets... if you like it can be official some day ;)
But we've a problem, our Springbok doesn't have a name... we think in "Ubu" but maybe is so simple... then we want invite you to put one. Most voted name in this forum will be the final name.
I put a image in advance, more in our site ;)

fsckser?

[HungSquirrel]

I've never had to do an emergency fsck in Ubuntu. ;)

[somuchfortheafter]

thats why its the fscker it keeps us from doing it lol

[TravisNewman]

OK those are cute, I must admit!
I like the interpretation of some of the traditional characters, especially redhat for some reason.

I'd like to see some of these get propagated more. Like Konqui. The OpenPuppets konqui at least looks artistic and clever. If this were the official konqui in KDE I'd stop just ctrl+alt+backspace'ing out of KDE (yes, I do this to dodge Konqui).

Anyway, Kassetra's idea of Ubi is good I think

Thanks people!! Then "Ubi" is one of the most you like... Any other idea? About 5 April we put a new name, and will be ... :P

YAY Ubi! :) He's sooooo cute too!

Sooooo... when will you be making selling t-shirts and stuff with the Open Puppets designs?

You know cafe press (http://www.cafepress.com/cp/info/) can handle all the printing for you ... so people could buy their favorite Open Puppet on a t-shirt or coffee mug or stuff like that... :)
