Artwork and X,org 7.1 debate

I almost complete the set of emotes and plan to work on weather icons. Making a cloud through application like Inkscape is challengin than expected. Some of them will be derived from Tango icons. Check out the new Echo emote artwork. The devil-grin emote is scarier than before. I am almost the artwork may not be ready for Fedora Core 6 Final Release as I expected but these new icons will certainly see the day on Fedora Core 7.

There is an interesting topic on LWN related with Fedora Board to not bring X.org 7.1 to Fedora Core 5 yet. With the recent release of Nvidia driver, one of the problem is solved.

I intend to upgrade from the current Fedora Core 5 to Fedora Core 6 Test 2. I consider triple booting the system but GRUB won't ajust to the current Fedora system forcing me to manually update it.

Two emoticons are missing, actually the same emoticons which are missing at the Tango page:
:-p
:-/

Are they not so wide spread among art developers? I've seen them on almost all Emoticon-Sets I've checked, and the first one is on every emoticon set I've checked - even the Tango-Project spec documentation mentions it - but not the fedora core set, and not the real specs of the Tango Project.
Why?

And yes, bug reports are filled in the Tango bugzilla, the :-p will be included when someone has time :)

Well, the :-p is tricky to name because it has different means. One would think about joking emotes while other thinks about insult. Can anyone find a good name for that like face-*?
The :-/ is under way and will be uploaded shortly.

Awesome that you already implement the :-/ - which name are you taking for that? I wasn't able to come up with a good one in the tango-bugzilla:
https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=5940

However, since you are still searching for a :-p name, you should probably mention this in the appropriate bug entry at the Tango page - probably you can find a good name together:
https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=5931

I would propose face-tongue though, since it says what it is (a face and a tongue) and avoids misunderstandings.

face-tongue makes sense for :-p. The emote was ready but just needed to get a decent name. In short time, it will be uploaded. As for :-/, the name is face-uneasy.

Sun's promise to open source Java vs GCJ

According to this Press Release via OS News , it appears Sun Microsystems allow the redistribution of their Java development for Linux distributions under a new license called Operation System Distributor's License for Java or in short "Distro License for Java". Currently, only binaries are licensed as the source code is not available for the public although SUN promise to open source Java . I wonder if that announcement will affect the whole GCJ on which Fedora Project is focusing. Pour les francophones: Selon cette note de presse via OS News, Sun Microsystems permet la redistribution des binaires Java pour les distribution de Linux sous la nouvelle license nomm&ecaute;e License des distros pour Java . Je me demande si cette annonce affectera le développement de GCJ.

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
