After recently joining the team<ref>http://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/design-team/2009-August/000719.html</ref> with a first proposal for the Echo Icon theme<ref>http://fedorahosted.org/echo-icon-theme/</ref>, [[User:kristho|Kris Thomsen]] built his confidence and returned<ref>http://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/design-team/2009-August/000855.html</ref> with more contributions "I have made two more icons - based on the user-desktop-icon. And now I'm confident enough to share them". Welcome Kris, you are an useful addition to the Echo team!
