=== A Lot of Folder Icons for Echo ===

[[User:Mso|MArtin Sourada]] contributed<ref>http://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-art-list/2009-February/msg00074.html</ref> a large number of folder icons for the Echo Perspective<ref>http://fedorahosted.org/echo-icon-theme/</ref> set, small variations of the base folder icon "I've began remaking the the whole folder set to have perspective projection". He also wrote a blog post<ref>http://mso-chronicles.blogspot.com/2009/02/weve-gone-long-way.html</ref> about those icons but also about the evolution of the Echo theme "we like Echo and would like to see it being default in Fedora sometime in the future, but we also need to keep up with others – and that means perspective projection" and *his* own evolution on working on them "And how far have I gone? In short very far. In longer – from an ocassional contributor to main contributor and practicaly the Echo Icon Theme project leader... Also as you can see from the images above, my inkscape skills have improved a lot ;-)"

Echo Weekly News

Martin Sourada announced[1] on @fedora-art a new edition of the Echo Weekly News [2] "This issue covers February 2009 and contains this topic: New Icons, Perspective" and a few days later he also advanced[3] a new design for the "computer" icon.

Preparing for the Beta Release

With the Beta release for Fedora 11 nearing, Paul Frields asked[1] about the wallpaper status "We are a little past that deadline if the wallpaper is to get into the Beta spin as was originally intended, but it *can* still happen. I suggest deciding on a candidate by tomorrow. If the design isn't perfect there is still time to tweak it as we move toward the Preview Release and the other collateral designs are made" and Máirí­n Duffy came[2] with a round of images[3], which gathered the consensus of the team with the reserve[4] on improving them further post-Beta. The images were also packaged[5] in a yummable format by Martin Sourada.

Working on the Picture Book

After the project was initiated on @fedora-marketing a couple of months ago, the time came for implementation on @fedora-art and Máirí­n Duffy started the process[1] with an acclaimed[2] first mockup "Let the games begin! :) My concept for the theme of the book here is a guide on how to be Fedora. There would be 4 chapters, freedom, friends, features, first. The photos for each chapter will have the model's perspective on the chapter's four f, talking about how that f affects their life and affects their role in Fedora. Then below that, per picture, we could suggest to the readers how they can bring that into their own life with a suggestion. Kind of a call to action" which was followed by a round of improvements[3] from Nicu Buculei.
