Bonne année / Happy New Year 2008

[Français]

Ainsi s'achève l'année 2007. Le Libre Graphic Meeting 2007 à Montréal a été le point tournant où j'ai pris la décision de commencer le cours sur les arts graphiques. Les icônes d'Echo n'ont pas été prêt pour Fedora 8 et le développement pour Fedora 9. Le portable XO a été un succès avec son lancement sous le programme G1G1 (Donnez un, recevez un) terminée le 31 décembre 2007.

Pour 2008, le but est de compléter le developpement des icônes Echo pour Fedora 9, fournir en détail le tutoriel pour la création des icones isométriques, participer à certains projets de Fedora tout en ayant des classes des arts graphiques. Une fois de plus, Bonne Année.

2007 is over. Montreal Libre Graphic Meeting 2007 was the turning point where I decided to take Graphic Design class for a year and half. Echo icons were not ready for Fedora 8 and pushed to Fedora 9 instead. XO laptop was a success with its G1G1 (give on get one) program which ended on 2007 December 31.

For 2008, the goal is to complete Echo icons development for Fedora 9, writing a tutorial for creating an isometric icons Echo uses, be more active on some Fedora projects while being in Graphic Design. One more time, Happy New Year.

Summary of echo-icon-theme report on Virtual FUDCon

It was my first even conference on Virtual FUDCon which greatly saved time and money. In summary, echo-icon-theme will not be ready for Fedora 8 given the time constrains. Its guideline needs a rewrite started by Martin Sourada. The icons are now residing on echo-icon-theme repository which facilitates the access for contributors looking to add/update the icons. It also means the wiki page for EchoDevelopment will no longer upload icons and will serve as reference. The mouse cursors are not in the repository yet but will be available shortly. Mairin, Fedora Artwork team leader, suggested to use Tango guideline for icons smaller or equal than 24x24 while keeping the isometric view for 32x32 and above. Demitri Glezos thanked the team for the use of icons on his Transifex project . The set of icons is roughly 40 percent complete and users of other desktop environment like KDE are encouraged to test them and provide ticket to track issues. Be in mind the echo-icon-theme division tea

Using AMD RX Vega driver OpenCL on Fedora 29

The Raven Ridge APU is very capable processor to handle OpenCL inside some applications like Blender, Darktable and Gimp. Unfortunately, the current implementation from Mesa, clover, stuck to 1.3, is not supported. AMD released their driver 18.40 with OpenCL2.0+ targeting only Red Hat Enterprise Linux/Cent OS 6.10 and 7.5 in addition of Ubuntu LTS. The good new is the former rpm format can be used on Fedora. The graphical part of Raven Ridge is Vega 8, basically a cut-down of Vega56 or Vega64 meaning choosing either driver for RX Vega . The instruction is provided for extracting the rpm files but here is some requirements for OpenCL: kernel-devel (provided by Fedora repository) amdgpu-dkms dkms libopencl-amdgpu-pro opencl-amdgpu-pro-icd Once done, applications needing OpenCL will automatically detect the driver located on /opt/amdgpu/lib64 . Blender will list as unknown AMD GPU and Darktable will enable it. OpenCL from official AMD driver enabled on Darktable Ra
