<div>Hello Robyn</div><div><br></div>Maybe we could set to continue the tomorrow meeting one hour and set something like a massive interview to talk about this. The question will be if the team has time after or before the meeting.<div>

Hey there Design folks...<br>
<br>
Some of you may have seen some of marketing-team's discussion on doing<br>
some stories about what's going on in Fedora. It has occurred to me<br>
that it would be super cool to do a piece on what the Design team is<br>
up to - particularly since we're really at the start of the cycle<br>
here, and it's a great time for people to get involved and come up to<br>
speed without it being crunch time. :)<br>
<br>
Here's a bit of what I was thinking (subject to change - feel free to<br>
throw your own ideas out!) -<br>
<br>
* Look at all the different projects / deliverables Design produces<br>
throughout the cycle - from concept to shipment of each release. How<br>
to get involved.<br>
* Tools! What are the tools used - perhaps even talk about Design Suite a bit.<br>
* Discuss doing things openly - with open tools, why this is important.<br>
* How can non-designers help? Feedback loop, etc.<br>
<br>
I think it would be great as a four-part series (or... something to<br>
that effect), doing interviews with 4 different contributors (ideally,<br>
I could get four interviewers too, which would be awesome). It could<br>
be some great press-kit type stuff particularly for Design Suite, as<br>
well as hopefully assisting your team in picking up a few new<br>
contributors, and explaining to others what your process is. (Or even,<br>
"Why it's a much better time NOW to make requests, than 2 weeks before<br>
release!")<br>
<br>
As to where it winds up - there are a few options. Other than being a<br>
blog series on planet - we could also work with red hat to get it on<br>
their press blog, which gets syndicated in some places where planet<br>
doesn't; we could turn it into a nice-looking document for press kit,<br>
etc., rather than being just "on the wiki" and "in a blog" which<br>
aren't as eye-candy. (Oh, the irony - I say we could, and I'd probably<br>
be filing the request with design to make the design interview / story<br>
look better. haha!) We could even look into maybe doing a magazine<br>
piece.... or print + video....<br>
<br>
Anyway - thoughts? I can file a ticket if necessary - although most of<br>
the "ticket" here is on marketing, rather than design :)<br>
<br>
I'd be happy to come to the design meeting this week and talk more<br>
about it, solicit some interviewees, etc. Shall I put it on the<br>
agenda?<br>
<br>
