One Canvas Workflow
MartinSourada talked[1] on the Fedora Art list about the One Canvas Workflow: "I think we need to be up to date with technology, so I started downloading the One Canvas Workflow screencast by jimmac. I haven't tried it yet (but going to do so very soon), but from the people who already tried it and shared their thoughts about it, it seems like it would be improvement for the Echo Icon Theme creation workflow".
And quickly after this he presented[2] the first icons created using this process, an opportunity to introduce icons at a very large size (256x256px) and with an increased amount of details[3].
Editor's note: One Canvas Workflow is an improved way to create multiple icon size in one single sheet, advocated by the famous designer and GNOME hacker Jackub Steiner "jimmac"[4].

Fedora Art Team Monthly Picks
MairinDuffy proposed an initiative: "maybe the Fedora Art Team could do a monthly art pack (kind of along the likes of the iCE and ACiD art groups' monthly art packs) that would be a selection of say the top 10 best art works producing using Fedora (inkscape, gimp, etc., it just has to be software that's available in Fedora used to produce it.)", with the intention to promote the works created by the member of the team: "I think this might be a good way of getting more recognition to our artists as well as to what Fedora can do".
The talk is open for details about the technical implementation.
