We silveroranges have been busy working with a few open source software projects.
Along with my co-workers, Daniel Burka and Stephen DesRoches, I’ve been working with a collection of designers from around the world (literally - we span at least five times zones) on the visual identity of the Mozilla projects. The first big project by the team was the logo and icon for the recently renamed Firefox web browser.
My weblog has more detail on the new team and logo, and Jon Hicks, the great illustrator we’ve been working with from the U.K. has also made a great post about the process. We’re excited to be a part of the new Mozilla Visual Identity Team and we’re just getting started.
Another silverorange, Nathan Fredrickson, has been pitching in with patches to the Gaim IM-client and has taken over as the maintainer of GtkSpell.
See the silverorange website for more detail about these projects.

In the more detailed version of the news there is an error in the link of gtk.org (is gkt.org instead of gtk.org...
Great work on Firefox!
bye

You need to add an </a> tag at the end of the last sentence ... all the text after that link is underlined in Safari.

Thanks Steve. Fixed.

I've been meaning to congratulate the team on a job well done. The whole branding of the new moz products is just gorgeous. Say, how did you first get involved with the Mozilla Visual Identity Team? And how could some other wannabe get involved?

Some reason I don't get a reply?

Fine, okay. After many weeks without reply I've answered my own question:

I guess SilverOrange is on hiatus or something.

Jim: Your posts somehow slipped through the cracks unnoticed. Sorry about that. Thanks a lot for your kind words about the Mozilla work we've been involved with. Steven actually wrote a post on his weblog quite a while ago explaining how he got himself (and then others on our team) involved in working with Mozilla.
