Archived since there are many great open source icon sites already which we list on our resources page, also see the same topic for fonts https://github.com/opensourcedesign/fonts/issues/21
At present the contents of this repository are drawings created by numerous contributors at an IconLocal design-a-thon at a conference. The current icons posted here relate to security & privacy and more information about the effort is described by @gusandrews in this post about the event
The loose idea of this repo is to apply aspects of open source software development (sharing, iteration, forking, extending, and modifying) to the icon design process.
The following is a work in progress and totally open to suggestions and modifications to icons as well as the process itself!
Once we get through making most of these icons, we can assess how well this process went and then consider applying it to other icons.
Also, at some point we can just add en-masse a bunch of open source icons. However, must be careful not to replicate The Noun Project as they've done such a great job!
