Konqi

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Konqi Konqueror is the current mascot for the KDE project, a small cheerful green dragon. He appears in KDE software, and on many websites, including the KDE homepage. The name "Konqi" was chosen after Konqueror, the KDE web- and file browser. Its creator is Stefan Spatz.

Konqi appears in 3.x versions of KDE. In KDE 2.x, the mascot was a wizard called Kandalf. Konqi also appeared in KDE 2.x on the KDE crash dialog. [1]

Konqi also has a girlfriend named Katie who is a stand-in when he is too busy, i.e. developing KDE and making PR appearances [2]. Katie is also the mascot of the KDE women's project.
