Hi all,
I'm going to release the first website screens and parts of the pattern lib at Zeplin. Everyone who wants to access the project need a free Zeplin account which I can invite. Sorry for the inconvenience. Additionally I can share PNGs of each screen. But you won't able to read comments which are written within the Zeplin project.
1. Create a free account at www.zeplin.io 2. Let me know the email address of your account to invite you to the project

Do you have experience with tinting SVG images? https://css-tricks.com/cascading-svg-fill-color/
Would this method work for you? If so we need all icons in only one color (black).
PS: Did you already tried out a Jabber client for MacOS?

At this stage it doesn't make sense to share the uncompleted stuff. It would cause a lot of questions which will not appear when I provide the complete set of viewports. You already know the final designs. I didn't change anything. Please give me the time to provide a professional handover to Sven. Otherwise it will become messy, believe me ;) I'm sorry that it takes some time. I'll publish the designs asap via Zeplin.
I didn't intend to put any pressure on at all. I just care about everyone being happy and not getting stuck :)
I'll prepare the captive portal designs as well.
Okay!
Regarding Slack: Valid points against it. I agree. Jabber should do the trick as well. Not that comfortable but fine for me.
Best, Maurice

Hi Here are some infos about our jabber server. http://planet.ipfire.org/post/opening-the-ipfire-jabber-server or look here http://wiki.ipfire.org/en/community/talk.ipfire.org/start Weekdays I'm on there and mostly Michael, too.

Hello, there are Open-Source Alternatives to Slack for example: https:// about.mattermost.com I have nothing against this mailing list but when you have a longer conversation I think that it becomes a little bit hard to read, and for a conversation over the phone we don’t have enough to discuss (at the moment) :-D But IM with Jabber is fine for me.
Greetings, Sven

Cool. Can we access that in some way? The Dropbox thing has vanished, too and I had someone working on the Captive Portal which we don't have a copy of.
Next step is to design the key viewports for the homepage. Already started with that. I'm pretty busy in the evenings with private stuff like home improvements and annoying things which needs to be done.
Furthermore I had the idea to create a Slack channel for a more comfortable collaboration with Sven. Discuss and share stuff very easily and fast. I have very good experience with that tool during the last ~2 years.
What do you think Michael, would you sign up and create a IPFire Slack channel? The free basic version is totally enough.
I am very much against Slack. There are two main reasons:
a) It is proprietary. We cannot rely on this being free for forever and I do not want to force anyone to sign up for something in order to communicate with people.
b) We cannot archive it. The big advantage of a mailing list is that we have an archive of all messages that everyone can access from everywhere.
That's why I would like to keep the main conversation on this list if possible. For some work it makes more sense to do some instant messaging or use a phone.
For that we do have our own Jabber server and a SIP VoIP server that you can even call from your landline (this might be quite handy since you two are in different countries):

I hope this makes up for Slack. But if you have any other reasons I forgot to convince me, feel free to do so :)
Best, -Michael
Best, Maurice
