Excellent questions! 1. On getting an O'Reilly book published, yep, I think that time has come. We had a couple of people say that they were interested in writing books about Vyatta, but it was early on and I think people decided to hold off a bit. To be honest, before Glendale, I don't think it would have been worth it. There was so much functionality changing all the time and it would have all broken with the new CLI (witness the work being done by Vyatta on the docs, for instance). But, I think now would be a great time to start on that stuff. 2. On a mascot, we have talked about that in the past. It's probably time to run a contest for that. ;-) Frankly, the best ideas come from the community. We do have some artistic talent available to us that could help refine a raw idea, so I think everybody could participate in a competition for suggestions without having to be an artist. 3. The Vyatta logo is a stylized eclipse, the meaning of which can be found here: http://www.vyatta.com/about/index.php But I'll admit that it lacks the cuddly nature of a penguin or a little daemon. -- Dave _______________________________________________ Vyatta-users mailing list Vyatta-users@mailman.vyatta.com http://mailman.vyatta.com/mailman/listinfo/vyatta-users
