That is a great story.
Have you published it ?

And would you please share the story behind the testing goat?

excellent! maybe also adjust the mailinglist-name from Pytest-* to
pytest-*, to have a unified branding?

"1 1/2 family of colours" (which is in #5, where there is the red and
yellow family)... having it in all colours brings challenges if you
want to use that logo on any other background than black or white. As
in having goat-brown-t-shirts or mugs :) And reproduction can get less
colours wrong :)

Absolutely! Especially if you adjust the claim later on, when pytest
is adapted to do control cell-culture-based testing of anti-cancer
medicine.
