Art Schedule for Fedora 10

JohnPoelstra showed[1] on @fedora-art a tentative schedule[2]for the Artwork activities and asked about help with it "1) Which tasks no longer apply and should be removed 2) New tasks which should be added 3) Existing tasks that are wrong"

Working on a sound theme

ChrisNorman uploaded[1] a first preview of a new desktop sound theme created for Fedora and he received[2] some feedback about length and content from NicuBuculei: "I am not sure about speaking the English word 'attention' - some people not speaking English may not be that happy. And maybe, just maybe, a few sounds, like 'window-close.wav' are a bit too long".

Echo icon theme as a Fedora 10 feature

LuyaTshimbalanga reported[1] about FESCO acceptance of the new Echo icon set as a default in Fedora 10: "Fesco has accepted echo-icon-theme as default icon theme for Fedora 10.[1] Which means we need to push harder to include as many icons as possible using guideline and echo-artist tool now available on rawhide and is waiting for people to get them on both Fedora 8 and 9"

[1] https://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-art-list/2008-September/msg00028.html

MatthiasClasen outlined[2] the importance of having Echo as a default in the upcoming beta release "I think we need to act quickly to make Echo the default for the beta, to test the waters before F10" and soon after that he operated the change[3].

[3] https://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-art-list/2008-September/msg00056.html

MartinSourada noted that the feature depends on the icon coverage "Just a note that Fesco (and many art team members as well) has some concerns about coverage. Simply said if we don't achieve the Mist/gnome icon themes coverage, we'll be rolled back to Mist and wait for another release" and offered to mentor new contributors.

-[[NicuBuculei]] asked[1] on @fedora-art about the plans to use the new Echo icon set as a default on Fedora 10: "considering the feature freeze, the Beta release and as Echo is not a feature proposed for F10, is correct the assumption that we won't have Echo as a default for F10, staying with Mist [at least] one more release cycle?"

-In reply [[LuyaTshimbalanga]] pointed[2] out that it is still possible, due to a slip in the release cycle: "Shall we try to make it as Fedora 10 feature. Thanks to, in some extend, the incident, feature freeze has been moved on September 9th."

-[[MartinSourada]] shared[3] his experience "It seems like artwork things are preferred to be decided by the Art Team rather than Fesco. I have a feeling it might be same for Echo." and proposed that this decision should be made together by the Art and Desktop teams "In this case I personally think Echo should be put on evaluation by Art Team and Desktop Team. If both agree it's ready for

-=== Automating the One Canvas workflow ===
+=== Working on a sound theme ===
-In the last FWN[1] issue we covered 'One Canvas workflow', an innovative way to create icons, this week it continued to be a topic on @fedora-art and [[MartinSourada]] introduced[2][3] a script that makes the work easier. "[It] greatly simplifies life for Echo artist, since all they need is to make the Source SVG, run the script on it, select which branches they'd like to push it to and write commit message(s) - i.e. it automates most of the process". He also wrote a blog post[4] about this and created a screencast[5] illustrating the process.
