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.
