<div dir="ltr">Hi,<br><br><div><div class="" id="magicdomid8"><br></div><div class="" id="magicdomid186"><span class="">Looking on our team and how it</span><span class="">'s worked</span><span class=""> </span><span class="">for</span><span class=""> a while, you</span><span class="">'ll notice some</span><span class=""> things going wrong right now. </span><span class="">S</span><span class="">ome changes </span><span class="">over</span><span class=""> time</span><span class=""> have</span><span class=""> affected the design team</span><span class="">. For example,</span><span class=""> there are no code</span><span class=""> </span><span class="">names anymore</span><span class="">, and</span><span class=""> fedora.next </span><span class="">has shifted how we will organize and ship Fedora</span><span class="">. </span><span class="">Also, o</span><span class="">ur trac </span><span class="">queue </span><span class="">contains a lot of open tickets</span><span class=""> </span><span class="">that are very old</span><span class="">,</span><span class=""> and </span><span class="">we don't have an organized and consistent way to share design assets (for example, </span><span class="">our </span><span class="">Fedora People shared</span><span class=""> account </span><span class="">hasn't been used in the past</span><span class=""> 3 years</span><span class="">, and we've tried an art board, Sparkleshare on git, and other solutions but none have stuck yet.)</span></div>
<div class="" id="magicdomid10"><br></div><div class="" id="magicdomid252"><span class="">We want to bring some light in that darkness, so Mo and I agreed on trying to get the team together on a FAD. </span><span class="">The main p</span><span class="">urpose for t</span><span class="">his</span><span class=""> FAD </span><span class="">would be to put</span><span class=""> a structure in</span><span class=""> place to help</span><span class=""> handle our work </span><span class="">in the future, and make design team collaboration (and new design team member ramp-up) easy and fun.</span></div>
<div class="" id="magicdomid12"><br></div><div class="" id="magicdomid351"><span class="">We think the FAD should happen o</span><span class="">ver a </span><span class=""> weekend</span><span class="">,</span><span class=""> from 16th - 18th January 2015</span><span class="">, to enable more people to be able to come. Since</span><span class=""> the more active part </span><span class="">of the team </span><span class="">is mostly US</span><span class="">-</span><span class="">based right now, we thought its the best idea to do </span><span class="">in the US</span><span class="">, so the place will be </span><span class="">near Boston in </span><span class="">Westford</span><span class="">, </span><span class="">Massachusetts USA</span><span class=""> at</span><span class=""> the Red</span><span class=""> </span><span class="">Hat </span><span class="">engineering </span><span class="">office</span><span class=""> (we can use the facility for free and have Mo and Ryan on the ground able to help</span><span class="">.</span><span class="">)</span></div>
<div class="" id="magicdomid14"><br></div><div class="" id="magicdomid377"><span class="">What we need now is to know who want to participate, so that we can calculate the costs and arrange an budget for it.</span><span class=""> Here are the types of things and skillsets we're looking for:</span></div>
<div class="" id="magicdomid379"><br></div><div class="" id="magicdomid422"><span class="">- Designers to help create badges, logos, mockups, etc. as requested in the open tickets on our trac queue at </span><span class=""><a href="https://fedorahosted.org/design-team/report/1">https://fedorahosted.org/design-team/report/1</a></span></div>
<div class="" id="magicdomid424"><br></div><div class="" id="magicdomid552"><span class="">-
Designers and other technical folks willing to play around / try out
and evaluate different potential design team infrastructure tools and
work out ways we can integrate them into our team moving forward. This
might involve installing and playing with art boards, coming up with a
SparkleShare workflow, or experimenting with Glitter Gallery or any
other related kinds of tools that will help us store our assets and
share our work with each other.</span></div><div class="" id="magicdomid553"><br></div><div class="" id="magicdomid588"><span class="">-
Anyone familiar with FAS to help us go through our membership list and
clean out inactive members and tend to pending requests.</span></div><div class="" id="magicdomid590"><br></div><div class="" id="magicdomid627"><span class="">- Designers and anyone else willing to participate in brainstorming a solution about Fedora's release artwork process.</span></div>
