The puffin is Scilab mascot. It was designed by Dr. HU Baogang, Chinese Director of LIAMA and Contributor Member of Scilab Scientific Board.
Dr. HU Baogang explained why he chose a puffin:
“The image of puffin reflects a spirit of freedom with proud,
as carried in the endeavor of developing open-source software. Be proud of developing open source... I would like to share this
feeling with our Chinese students in using Scilab.”
