Hi Guys,
Liked this weeks podcast, however I did think at the beginning of the OLC interview, you spoke much abou nothing for a while, however when you got down to it, it was interesting.
about the Breathe Icon Set, I am an artists on the project and basically we have taken the base oxygen icon set and are making it human (not only the colours but also the feel of the icons). The default ones in Ubuntu (Human icons) were made by Ubuntu and the Tangerine icons (optional but installed by default) are the tango icons but orange.
Is the LiVES package in Ubuntu going to be named LiVES-0.9.9.9.9.9.9.9.9-ubuntu-9.04-1-0-1-01-9?
