KDE Pinheiro

We are working on a new version of oxygen site that will have lots of new exyting features. Also we will be refreshing the previews to reflect the current state of the theme. We hope to have a realy good colaboration forum so that all artists, developers, kde users may join the oxygen efort. Another cool feature that we are working on is some usability test's for the icons in order to improve the metafores and to test some new ones. Stay tuned!! BTW those icons are some of the new action icons we have done.

So tomorrow David and Kenneth are arriving here for a week of full artistic work cant wait :) We hope we can boost our work and manage to get a mostly working icon set by the end of th e week, the coffee machine is up and ready ;). On another front we made a new logo for K3M the KDE Multimedia Meeting. I hope it catches the essence of the project.

So today Matthias Kretz announced the on line status of the phonon site its a great project one that will address one of the most reclaimed changes to kde but is also a great new vision for a multimedia architecture for kde 4. I'm very proud to have been able to provide a little bit of help to phonon effort. We at Oxygen are working very hard to make new visual perspectives and ideas to kde and i think we are doing some progress on that field. David an Ken are planing a trip to my place so we can boost the iconset, and also talk and work on all the other kde project's we got ourselvs into, allot to do in a busy work week, I'm very happy about this they are the the coolest artist i know and can't wait they get here.

I wish for every one a very hapy holiday with lots and lots of candy chocolats and hapyness.

In the past months i have been working more than i ever did in my intire life, the good thing is that i'm not to tired. So what have i been up to? Well Oxygen mostly, i decided to redo most of the action icons, and try to presuit a new way of expresing them, must say i think its is working, also david's icons are loking sweet and kenenth made an amasing joob on some icons of its own. Spread kde site, well some work there, but i have "seen the light" and think i will try to push in a slightly diferent direction. Phonon site, done joob! The site should be hiting the fans some time soon. Some koffice icons, in the old crystal style. I have been talking to the koffice guys, and we have come to an understendment to join their icon set with the one i make for openoffice so this time koffice will have a truly complete icon set. All of the oo.o icon theme plus the koffice theme rounds up to more than diferent 1100 icons so big joob in front of me for the coming months. If ...

Good question. Well I like it! And I like it, because it makes me happy, because it is a pleasure to work with it, because it makes what I want and it does it as I want. But above everything I love our community, i like the way as several groups inside kde support each other to produce something better. Solid , it is a good example of this. New and exciting project that looked for support of kde to make what had to be made, not the actual code cor general project idea, but the other stuf that is so important this days. Communication! Couse we are not good at everything we do, well not the majority of us, Kévin Ottens decided it was a good idea to take some atention to this side of things and send us at Oxygen an email about the nead for an logo for the solid project, (we were very hapy to do it) . It happens that it had been aron that it had pointed it in our direction. We ended up to do one more icon for the web site, this one is also a part of our Oxygen icon themen and it was ma...

Just wanted to send my very best wishes for 2006 and a Merry, Merry Christmas to all of the KDE.
