Martin Sourada, the Echo icon theme maintainer, published[1] a new release, 0.3.2:

"as you might know, we've recently published our first release on fedora hosted (0.3.2) and I'll probably mark the update for F8/9 as stable tomorrow or in Monday. Also being it first release of echo using the new git layout + git branches, there are some little issues which I'll address in 0.3.2.1"

He also laid some plans for the next release, 0.3.3:
[[User:duffy|Máirín Duffy]] announced<ref>http://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/design-team/2010-December/003716.html</ref> a new communication channel for the team "Thanks to Sijis we now have a team blog!! (Yay!!)" and she invited authors to join "Some members of the design team we couldn't add to the blog because their accounts weren't in the Fedora blogs system. If you'd like to be added, please log in to Fedora blogs to create your account, and let me know you've done it so I can request your account be added."
"I've decided that one of the most important places to create icons in the menus for now are the System sub-menus, where there are many icons using neither echo nor gnome style and some of them are even blurry."


In related icon development, both Martin and Luya Tshimbalanga created a number of new icons, with character map[2], firewall[3] and date preferences[4] being a few examples.

When creating one of the icons, Martin Sourada commented[5] "I used some gimp tricks in order to look more smooth on LCDs for the PNGs", a practice questioned[5] by Nicu Buculei "[...] his way the binary (PNG) can't be built directly from source and would make the life harder for derivatives"

=== Mist icons in high resolution ===
 
Andreas Nilsson, the maintainer of the Mist icon set, which is currently used in Fedora 9 and Fedora 8, announced on the art mailing list the introduction of a few icons with really large size, needed by some applications:
"As there are requirements for large size icons in apps like GNOME Do and Elisa, I recently started working on Mist icons with a bigger, 256x256 canvas. With some assistance from Kalle Persson and Hylke Bons, I now I have something that is usable and will try to merge these into gnome-themes trunk next week if everything goes well."

=== More desktop theme proposals for Fedora 10 ===
 
Still in the Round 1 stage for creating a new desktop theme for the upcoming Fedora 10[1], two new proposals were added: Klaatu and Gort proposed[2] "LiberaProgramo"[3], "A futuristic / sci-fi theme. The idea here is, literally, computing 'with no strings attached'....or, translated into Esperanto: Libera Programaro" and Guilherme Razgriz proposed[4] "Simetrical Freedom"[5], which "concept is the perfection that simmetry can offer with the freedom power of the possibilities of forms and states that it can take and reborn inside the same thing".
 
Guilherme's proposal was accompanied by an interesting tutorial[6] (written in Portuguese, but easy to understand by anyone grace to its suggestive screenshots) illustrating the implementation in GIMP.

FUDCon T-shirt

Emily Dirsh proposed[1] a T-shirt design for the Tempe FUDCon "It's inspired by the art of the Hohokam who once lived in the area" and after an initial warm receive[2] from Máirín Duffy "Wow that is **gorgeous**, I love it! I would love a shirt with that design in it!" she followed[3] with a couple of variations "Ooh, I love the idea of a navy shirt! Yeah, the advantage to a single-color design is it's very easy to adjust the color." Jef van Schendel also proposed[4] a few remixes "Here's a few quick and dirty stabs at a dark shirt version".

Design Team Blog

Máirín Duffy announced[1] a new communication channel for the team "Thanks to Sijis we now have a team blog!! (Yay!!)" and she invited authors to join "Some members of the design team we couldn't add to the blog because their accounts weren't in the Fedora blogs system. If you'd like to be added, please log in to Fedora blogs to create your account, and let me know you've done it so I can request your account be added."
