The Aleksolotl – Development of AlekSIS' mascot
During FrOSCon 2023, a group of AlekSIS developers did a little brainstorming on the character of the Aleksolotl:
The Aleksolotl is the official mascot of the AlekSIS project.
- The Aleksolotl is an axolotl.
- Its colors are different variants of blue.
- It's extremely playful.
- It has a schoolbag.
- It really doesn't like developers not doing their stuff.
- It's incredibly sweet and kind.
- It's a little bit naive.
- It's very curious.
- It loves to learn and organize things.
- Its favorite meal is a Greek seafood platter.
Additionally, there were some ideas in which places an Aleksolotl could appear:
- plush toys
- printed
- digital
- rollups
- manuals
- sheets
- t-shirts
- socks
- website
- stickers
- banners
- as soldering kit
This issue is mainly intended to keep track of the progress of getting an Aleksolotl graphic.
