hi together,
my name is nico patzold. your mail sounds like a really
attractive idea to me:
to create a friendly mascot for the
> Debian project (in a similar way to the Linux penguin or the GNU gnu)
I'm finally enthusiastic for debian since etch came out and would like
to give something back to the project. I'm not into the technical stuff
but trying to convince people (ms users), that debian or linux in
general simply is a operating system ;) and it's a good idea to use it!
to cut the longway short: I'm iterested, but don't know how it works or
how I could contribute.
my skills are in graphics, I like drawing and would be pleased to give
some ideas for a debian mascott or advertising for debian in general.
many greetings,
nic
