Hello Justin :) Thank you so much for the warm welcome, been checking my mail every hour for one of these. I made an account on FAS and joined the mailing lists, and with the help of an alumni who is a fedora contributor, worked my way around fedora batches. Also, tickets now make sense. The resources you sent for creating badges seem like DIY kit, makes me happy to build with, thanks for that :) Though I am hoping to find some work related to UX. Looking forward to start contributing, Chhavi :) On Mon, Dec 12, 2016 at 11:46 PM, Justin W.

Introduction :)
by Chhavi Shrivastava 12 Dec '16

12 Dec '16

Hello :) I am Chhavi, a pre-final Bachelor's Design student from IIT Guwahati, India. I am newcomer, both to FOSS and writing an introduction to send out to a mailing list of designers (very intimidating, both). I have courses ranging from elements of design, graphic design, animation, to UX and HCI. I mostly dabble with projects involving UX : - I designed the UX of an e-governance portal for our state with a team of developers - An extensive app for a global insurance firm during my summer intern. Not showing off but I might have designed t-shirts and posters for advertising too. :) I documented it on my portfolio website <http://www.chhavishrivastava.com/> which I built this summers (HTML/CSS and twitter bootstrap framework to make it look good on mobile as well). It would be kind of you to check it out. I made a profile <https://github.com/chhavijustme> on github too, though presently it has only my attempts to learn React and a side project <http://www.chhavishrivastava.com/skewedratio/>that is my current love (a collection of interviews about girls in IITs, since girl boy ratio is 1:10 here and there are a lot of stereotypes in India about it). All in all, this has made me realize how design has the power to impact communities and how it's more about learning from people and their contexts, than books. I stumbled upon Fedora Design page while exploring Outreachy. I would like to start helping out with what I can do, and learn from the community (the word is "contributing", so I have learned by lurking on IRC channels). I have read through Mizmo's blog about Fedora Hubs, and the links her blog took me to. I would be happy to help with any part of the design process that is going on. Phew. That would be all. I apologize for the length, nowhere did they mention rules about this so I took the benefit of doubt. :) Warm regards, Chhavi :) -- *Chhavi Shrivastava* *|* Pre-Final Year Undergraduate Student (B.Des) *|* Department of Design, Indian Institute of Technology Guwahati *|* +91 7896892375 | *www.chhavishrivastava.com <http://www.chhavishrivastava.com>*

Hello everyone I am trying to download Fedora logo and some more resources to go doing some tests with inkscape but it will not let me. He tells me I'm not registered. "To perform this operation you need these TICKET_CREATE permissions" Is there any way you can download them? -- >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Salva http://salvaestudio.com https://twitter.com/salvaestudio

Re: Any ideas for Fedora 26 visuals?
by Kyle Reynolds Conway 01 Dec '16

01 Dec '16

Wrong term ... More like repeating the circles a lot in a grid (the term is escaping me the moment). I'd use tile clone in inkscape to achieve this. I agree the brush strokes would be reproducible. A technology *feel* could join the circles. I've been working on this type of concept for a while. Here's one iteration: https://68.media.tumblr.com/8b0841d2655de4c032005082e459e7bb/tumblr_ohji5dB… Another idea I've been working on is a constellation-type effect: https://68.media.tumblr.com/1affc371387a6db3c2ea8072fb55c6fa/tumblr_ohji5vI…
