Silkscreen also works very well at large point sizes if you're looking for that chunky, old school computer look so popular with the kids today. In order to preserve the proper spacing and letterforms, Silkscreen should be used at 8pt.
Open Clip Art Library's artwork, that they specifically developed SVG support to utilise the library and also chose 1300 of the best OCAL SVG's to bundle with their software. It is great to see companies utilising the potential of User Contributed open media, and helping to distribute our awesome clipart to more and more end users.
press release: The new clip art library offers more than 1300 items that are accessed via a special clip art browser. The clip art is tagged with keywords that can be searched using the built-in Spotlight module. The clip art files come from the Open Clip Art Library, an archive of more than 7000 user-contributed images that can be freely used. Users can download additional artwork from the Open Clip Art Library and access it via DiscLabel's clip art browser.

one-liner Tue, 10 Jul 2007 05:31:58 +0000 Heya, this is a sign-post for google and anyone looking to get around updating their checked out repos that are used with a higher versioned subversion (svn) and then you have to migrate that content where the svn client is an older version. If you do svn up on with the older client, you will get this: "please get a newer Subversion client."
OSUOSL's own, emsearcy, is to checkout a fresh copy (we'll call it the source) to sit besides your old checked out copy. svn/**' --exclude '*' \ SOURCE/ DESTINATION/ You will then be able to use svn once more! There might be some pitfalls like needed to do -av rather than -rv if you want read-only files to not be touched.
An example of JohnnyAutomatic's work (the Toy Robot) can be seen to the left. The majority of JohnnyAutomatic's Uploads are taken from external archives of public domain clipart (like the US Patents Image Archive). He manually searches through these vast online archives, converts them to SVG and tweaks them sometimes to make them more usable.
Jon Phillips: Other Sites Like Open Clip Art Library (aka, Open Content Libraries) Mon, 05 Mar 2007 06:09:44 +0000 I'm promoting the idea of open content libraries this year much.
Right now this site is a wiki so that anyone can add their site. The idea though is that this could develop into a way to search many different sites' open content. For now, if you know of any general media/content categories, please add them to this wiki page so that we can get a better picture of what is out there. I'm specifically interested in what exists in the video and 3d model space, as I haven't looked into it much.
Jon Phillips: Open Font Library Logo Competition Launched Thu, 01 Mar 2007 03:24:39 +0000 OMG, I forgot to blog that we launched the Open Font Library Logo Competition yesterday.
org) is proud to announce the commencement of the Open Font Library Logo competition today, February 26, 2007. Artists and designers of all ranges are invited to make a logo to help identify the project. Judging will take place by contributors to the project, Alex Roberts (bovinity), Liftarn, and Zeimusu, who will select the winning logo. The last chance to submit submissions is March 14, 2007 at 11:59 PM PST. After that, the judges will select a logo within five days from the submission closing date.
Also, contributors may upload as many submissions as they would like and optionally submit bitmap graphics showing how their logo might look on the site. The project is not wed to the current green color on the site, so please feel free to think of how the site should be colored around your submission. The Open Font Library encourages all participants to join the Open Font Library mailing list to discuss this competition and to participate in the project. While this competition is about creating a great logo, the project hopes to interest hopeful font designers and software developers in building up this project.
Microsoft's Vista Photo Gallery supports XMP How can we best accelerate this standard in open source? Linksvayer and I have looked at many standards and whatnot and the space is completely clogged up with the minions of metadata all over the web. So, between the complexity of systems for embedding and standardization of fields, XMP solves this nasty problem the best.
He wrote a memorable paragraph: No, the key to success with FLOSS is its core attribute - it's openness to community-scale collaboration. Focus on energizing a strong community and empowering new users to bring their new ideas and energy in. Give them lots of room to experiment, and assist them with paving a good foundation for them to build atop. Give them invitations rather than rules, and infrastructure rather than bureaucracy. Make it easier for people with little technical skill to participate, and treat them as first class citizens when they do.
