New iconset - Red Hat Icons

[mairin]

Hi, Red Hat has an icon library we've recently made available under a CC-BY-3.0 license; it comes has a series of one icon per SVG with the SVGs nested in categorical directories.

Would these be something that could be accepted in the inkscape open symbols collection?

I am likely not going to have time to covert them in quite a while, but if someone wanted to it would be really awesome. I'm attaching a PDF catalog of the set I have so you can see what they look like and what kinds of symbols we have in the set.

Absolutely yes!

Please point me to the SVG collection. If well formed, should be quite fast converting them to symbols. I would be happy to try to do it.

@Xaviju I'll set up a repo and point you to it, right now it's a huge tarball.

Eagerly awaiting this!

Sorry it took me a while, I was trying to get the repo set up under the Red Hat Brand github org, but I had a hard time finding the right person to talk to. I've just uploaded it to my personal one, and hoping to move it to a better more official place once I figure out how!

@mairin WOW, so many folders and symbols! :))
It will take some time, I'll let you know when ready so you can test it.

@Xaviju take your time, anything you have time to convert would be incredibly amazing and helpful! I'd love to see more people able to use these for their diagrams and whatnot.

I wanted to convert some SVGs (from PatternFly) to a symbol library and found this repo. After figuring out how to get gulp working again and how to add subdirectory support, I tested it on the Red Hat Icons.

Here's a zip file (as GitHub doesn't allow for SVGs in comments) of the SVG with symbols:

🡇 red-hat-icons-symbols.zip

I did run svgo on all the SVGs and then removed all the _white variants that duplicated the shape but set the color to white. (As they're symbols, it's possible to just recolor each.)

I haven't added metadata yet.

I've tested it and its awesome and the code is perfect!

My only suggestion is to add a simple style="fill:black;stroke:none" in the svg tag to improve inkscape symbols visualization in the symbols panel:

<svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" style="fill:black;stroke:none">

Do you want to PR this? Add the symbols in its folder and edit the Readme and I'll approve it right away,
