Meet Felicity: The Focal Fossa!
🕑 Added 2020-07-12 17:29:42 +0000 UTCA few weeks ago, I had this crazy idea - what if Ubuntu release codenames had fursonas?
The code-names themselves aren't trademarked or anything and, like most of what Canonical does for Ubuntu, it's all open source for everyone to enjoy.
So.. why the heck not make a semi-oc out of it?
Focal Fossa's name is Felicity, named by the community! There's a forum post with tons of different takes on the official artwork. I think making fursonas for Ubuntu mascots could be a ton of fun!
I commissioned Rainiing, the same artist that made the June Pride Egee. I love their cute cartoon-like style and I think it's perfect for prototyping sonas like Felicity!
I have no idea where to go with it from here though 😂. I'll probably post her to r/furry on Reddit but I'm iffy about even tagging Ubuntu on Twitter because I totally that get not everyone is super into furry stuff.
What do you guys think I should do? These are really fun to make and I'd like to share it without people feeling like the fandom is being pushed onto them, you know?

I remember them making a mascot, though might have been someone doing it for them.

I remember for a brief period they used weird quirky names like "Beefy Miracle". Did releases ever have mascots or anything like that?

omg get that furry trash out of here xD we don't need no furry in our Linux community! jk, I think it is kinda cool. I know fedora used to do something like this with their weird releases.
