The guys of Cesena Blog, a blog of my hometown, have just published an interview with me.Read the interview (in Italian).

Techwriter’s den writes Five golden rules for a journalist in response to Linux.com’s recent bashing of the oxygen and Gimp projects hope Nathan Willis will have a chance to read Alexandre’s article. Maybe this would also encourage him to actually read the contents of my Conquer their Desktop post.read more | digg story

UPDATE: Developer have been found! 

Riccardo Iaconelli have been seen last time at #oxygen irc channel on 24 August 2007.

All his fellow designers and developers are waiting for him.If you have any information about him, let us know.

It’s in the mouth of everybody … Oxygen icon theme for Gnome! BUM!AFAIK It all started from a post from an italian blogger linking to a so called Oxygen Refit icon theme on gnome-look.org.We have always tried to keep Oxygen icons only on SVN, we asked people using them here in there to kindly remove in name of the freshness of upcoming KDE 4. But we knew that in the end, scripts, rip-offs etc were impossible to control. I find all this rumor around Oxygen for Gnome really interesting. I think there’s a lot of curiosity out there and maybe in the end our artwork will help to get some gnomeys to want to try KDE 4 when it cames out. But more than gnomeys, that at least are already using free software, I hope that our graphics, may help pushing the same curiosity about KDE to Mac and Windows users. That would be awesome.Now, back to the gnome theme. This Oxygen Refit it’s in reality a mix of different icon sets, and is not using all the latest icons … fortunately the author doesn’t seems to have enough experience with standard MIME naming specs to find the correct folder icon … :)

Second Oxygen meeting is over. I’m already back home in Cesena. 3 hours driving.I’m preparing a blog showing and explaining some of the new stuff I’ve been working on.

For a detailed meeting resume check Riccardo (ruphy) blog (which is in the process to being added to planet).An earlier mockup of the scrollbar can already be found in his blog:Day 1Day 2Day 3With this post I also would like to thanks Riccardo for organizing this and his family for being so nice with us.

Me, Nuno, Casper and Riccardo are meeting for an Oxygen style and windeco mini marathon in Milan, at Riccardo’s place. Thomas will be contributing realtime from IRC channel #oxygen. We met yesterday and will be working hard all the weekend. Updates coming later this evening. Stay tuned.

Well, I think now I can tell everyone I’ve a contract as external freelance designer at SUSE. This is almost a dream becoming reality, since this mean I’ll be able (and paid) to work on what I like and mainly for open source projects ( KDE and KDE related stuff).Update December 2005I’m not working anymore for Suse/Novell.

This is the First Blog Entry.
