Hello folks! My contribution...
We've already a bird mascot for openoffice.org project and OpenSolaris is a
more "strong" project. Do we need another bird? Yes! A bird that have the
record in bird migration and stamina ;-) MIGRATION (from windows and other
*nix) is a key word for us. We need a:
SOOTY SHEARWATER (*Puffinus griseus*), "Perdela Sombr?a" o "Pardela
Gris" en espa?ol

There are many articles about *Puffinus griseus* in internet. This bird fly
and swim (60m) to eat fish, squids or krill.
Someone to draw an adorable Sooty Shearwater?
Cheers,
Pedro
