I mentioned this (privately) to Michael Phipps that I thought the oboe would make a good mascot. Being a musical instrument; kinda falls inline with the idea of having a multimedia OS. If the name OpenBeOS sticks around however, the idea of having a set of doors opening ala "Open Sesame"; "Open BeOS"...would be kinda cool too. These ideas are just the icing on the cake tho'. We still have a cake to make. > If I may unlurk for a moment... > I agree with Jon. It is a bit long and the "BeOS" part may prove problematic > in the future. IMO "OBOS" sounds good.
