[ubuntu-art] A request

[Martin Owens]

It's more important to use open formats than open software, I would have concerns if the files were saved in .ai or .cdr rather than svg and that the components of the design where some how withheld from other artists and developers preventing the maintenance of the art.

Why should I care what the program you used to make it was? use what you work best in and produce some great art.

Best Regards, Martin Owens
