Not to be Mr. Negative, but this conversation is as the saying goes, "A day late and a dollar short.". All the final artwork needs to be in today. I haven't been able to catch Andrew anywhere lately, but I'm guessing that the only goal we're going to have accomplished is the icon theme (hopefully - at least enough to start using it in Breezy). As to not make everyone feel too bad about this, our team really did get off to a shaky start. It wasn't created until well into the Breezy development cycle, there was a lot of initial lack of communication (we thought we were waiting for our own hardware, website and version control system, when we we really all should have signed up for flickr accounts or something to show off our work in progress), we couldn't really seem to get any conversations going via email or IRC, and my medical problems kept me offline for days at a time sometimes. Even more recently my mother had a surgery with complications such that her recovery time changed from three weeks to three months and I've been going nuts (a) taking care of her, and (b) trying to convince worker comp that I couldn't very well have my own surgery in a month if there wasn't anyone around to help me (and they don't want to send help or let me delay the surgery, so it's a rock and a hard place type situation). I think the best we can offer Canonical at this point is the artwork that's on art.ubuntu.com, and hope their own graphic artist has done enough to pick up our slack. Given all of our challenges, I don't think we should feel bad about that for this release. If we don't have gigabytes of eye candy to show them by the Dapper Duck release though, we should definitely consider ourselves slackers. :o) That's my $.02 after taking my pain meds this evening and sitting down to try to get some work done and falling asleep on my keyboard, waking up with keys imprinted on my face six hours later.
