echo-icon-theme development status

A rare long blog post. A page has been created to track the development of icons necessary to be include on the stock release. The list seems overwhelming at first but creating some icons like shutdown and bluetooth are trivial. Complex icons like preferences-desktop-theme will be dealt later and I am considering using mask as referred by Paul Frields or a stamp of color as suggested by Ben Arnold.



Both Ben and Martin Sourada are also working on a new Echo cursors intended to replace the old Bluecurve version.



Overall, the whole echo-icon-theme seems to move slowly but still remains active in a hope to be available for Fedora 7 scheduled to be released on May. The goal is to make available for Fedora 7 Test 4 for evaluation purpose. Fedoraproject.org is now using Echo icons following fedora-fr.org which gives a sign of encouragement to the project.



For now, here is the new icons I did recently,
bluetooth_share
bluetooth_preference
shutdown_icon
standby_icon

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 .
