KDE Pinheiro

Or was it an apple? Hummm think apples are bad for you, so it must be icons ;) Any way since this days I been trying to kill of old bugs, I thought Bug    269484   was long overdue sooo... Will try to keep up the current pace of blog post see if we can motivate more people into joining oxygen project, and to show what we been doing...

Realy quick post, lets see if I can keep this up ;) Yesterday I killed a bug that was complaining that oxygen had no smartphone icon.... Today i start to kill the one that says that we don't have tablets..... Tomorrow I will try to finish this one :)

Really quick post just to say that I'm back from Akademy were I meet old friends and made new ones, (as usual), had lots of fun, made my presentation , helped in a training, and still managed to do some work :) So I'm back home and not as stressed with real day to day work as i was in the pass few months, And this gets me some time for bug killing in Oxygen icons.... today's victim..... A smart phone.....  So in the center I feature Necessitas Qt's port for Android Operating System:) ....

Or 4.8, is Out...... The reason I say dot 8 is that oxygen started with the 4.x series, so now with dot 8 its alive for 4.5 years, its not a juvenile anymore. Looking back I must say that I'm incredibly happy with what we did over the years, I think its without a question a fantastic proof that OSS people can coordinate efforts in to creating huge pieces of coherent design made by many, for more. And doing that with the single motivation of sharing the LOVE poured in to that work. OXYGEN is a true work of LOVE.      From the early days 6 years ago, when me Ken and David started with that ambitious crazy project of redoing all of the KDE icon set, (yeah we thought that was ambitious), when we were going to be sported to do that job by a popular Distro. To the moment the plug was removed from the project. Passing trough the days I thought the future was black (literally i made all the icons black :) ). And the days we thought  we could do a widget ...

"brought a flood of treasure seekers...in 1848 " To San Francisco.... in 2011 people are still flooding to the valley in search of .... treasures....  or, well something like that :).  (end of silly introductory text) I'm not going to try to go against the wave, so I will be attending the  Qt Developer Days San Francisco were we will be giving a training on Designing UIs with Qt Quick I like to call this training Qml for designers as it is IMO the main focus of this training. This will be the second time I'm doing this training in just one day, First time was in devdays Munich just a few weeks ago.., and the feed back was good. Given that I expect that just like in Munich most of the attendees are Developers, and that the full training is over 4 days, we will try to focus a bit on the social/management aspects of dealing with designers that try to do code, we will also do some examples of design techniques that can be used in QML to provide the users wit...

In a couple of weeks, I will need to deliver yet another default wallpaper for KDE's 4.8-49 desktop editions. So my brain wile starting to go in to “crazy” mode to try to find that specif edge, design pattern, blue, that will make me happy and hopefully our users happy as well... decided to have a look at what we have done over that 4.x series and, I saw a pattern alright. The most common element in all of them is.... some guy named Nuno... This must stop NOW!!.... Please help-me....but how?? So I had this idea.... what if some one else can create something better??? We are starting a contest to be ended 4 of December to create a new default wallpaper for 4.8-4.9. The rules..... Send it to nuno@oxygen-icons.org subject wallpaper2011 (please use this) The license for the chosen ones will be LGPL In case they are not selected, they will remain sole property of its creator (I will not publish them). Minimum size is 1920x1200Bonus points for creating other screen ratios. Ph...

Lets keep it short and to the point! If we managed to to do all of this in 15 imagine what we can in 15 more?
