Apart from that, where were the results posted? All I found were pictures from the event, spread across several categories. I've collected them on http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:Iconathon_2013 and cleaned up the other categories they were polluting (e.g. Category:I !!). I would expect the results to be uploaded to http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:The_Noun_Project but so far I haven't seen any new icons there. Is this coming soon?

Waldir, the event just happened two days ago, and yesterday was a Sunday. Please show a little patience.

The main activity during the event was design work and critique that did not yet involve making permanent digital assets. The core part of this was not making simple black and white SVGs of icons, but churning out as many ideas for representing concepts as possible, which we did collaboratively in groups on paper. Then we sorted and assessed these ideas with lots of back and forth between designers, Wikimedians present, etc.

Now that the idea phase is over and it's time to move toward execution, Vibha and others who ran this will be posting more updates this week. All relevant materials will of course be available for use on Commons.

I think the point Waldir was making was about a lack of information preceding the event, not so much the follow up.

Thanks, that was indeed my main concern. I was a little frustrated as I would like to have at least watched parts of the event, and even accepted that it wouldn't be possible due to the nature of the event, only to be informed, after the fact (I didn't read wikitech-l in the hours prior to the event) that some sort of remote participation was actually possible. This led me to vent out a little more than I should in my message, and I apologize for that (also, I didn't mean to imply that making black and white icons is a simple matter and should be done quickly; sorry if that was the impression I passed). Nevertheless, my concern still stands: although several event pages were created (more than should have been, imo, but that's another issue), none of them made any reference to either remote participation, or how non-participants could expect to know about the outcomes.
