I’ve been feeling this massive amount of burn out lately because of the lack of positive feedback (that Open Source reward-gratification I need) I have been receiving. I’m talking about the kind of the form: “hey man, good job,” or “its great that you are taking on this ____ task.” This burn out has much to do with taking on too many tasks since September which I am actively remedying with some major cut-backs. Also, it just goes hand in hand with not having the time to really relate with many folks. Anyhow, until the burn out is cured, I found a nice positive post to pet all of us Inkscape and Open Clip Art Library developers (including myself):
When I was first tasked to create some diagrams for my forthcoming book, I was completely lost and distraught; I’m not good at drawing, creating, or modifying graphics at all. Two resources have really saved me tremendous amounts of time: Inkscape and the Open Clip Art Library. Inkscape is an Open Source vector graphics editor. It is easy, intuitive, and very powerful. With little previous graphics creation experience, I was creating decent looking diagrams in no time. To spruce my diagrams up a bit and make them more fun, I wanted to use more than just boxes and text. I stumbled upon the Open Clip Art Library. Everything is available in the SVG graphics format, perfect for use with Inkscape. And everything submitted to the library is put into the Public Domain, so they are completey unencumbered. Just wanted to say “Thanks!” to the Inkscape developers and artists who contribute to the library!

In other news, I installed ccHost onto Open Clip Art Library. Now, the migration process begins…
