Developers at The Open Clip Art Library have been diligently implementing updates to the latest 2.1 Release of the site. Contributions and discussion about OCAL’s next steps have been progressing rapidly through platforms like bug reporting and the official mailing list. As preparations for the next iteration begin, the Librarians would like to announce the addition of a new element to upcoming and future releases, in the form of a coinciding themed package release!

The package will consist of images created by artists and developers of The Open Clip Art Library. Each collection of work will be centered around aspects of life relating to the current month or season of the year.

For this initial release, new submissions relating to the Spring Season will be included. In order to produce a stunning collection of vector images, users are encouraged to upload appropriately themed work to the site in the coming weeks.

Librarians at the Open Clip Art Library have set a goal of May 27th for the release of the Spring-themed clip art package, in honor of the 2010 Libre Graphics Meeting, in Brussels.

The Librarians hope to further encourage user contributions and collaborations with this exciting new aspect to The Open Clip Art Rlease Schedule. Everyone wishing to contribute can do so by registering, joining the mailing list, and uploading artwork!
