use different tools to create their resources, e.g. portfolio
(jflory7, 14:44:19)
* === On resources === (jflory7, 14:44:59)

14:45:09)
* Being mindful of health is important as well with regards to vision
care (jflory7, 14:46:19)
* Reasons for using open source software for design workflow (jflory7,
14:47:44)
* === Technical reasons === (jflory7, 14:47:49)
* Better resource management (jflory7, 14:47:53)

* Thorough documentation (jflory7, 14:49:40)
* Communities of support for the software to help you work through
issues (e.g. IRC, mailing lists, etc.) (jflory7, 14:49:55)
* Other branches of art (jflory7, 14:50:10)
* Examples: Writers, film makers, musicians (jflory7, 14:50:18)
* With platforms like Fedora, expands the options for music production
with free software without having to prohibit creative freedom due
to costs or other challenges (jflory7, 14:51:35)
* Conclusions (jflory7, 14:52:24)
* Fedora is awesome! (jflory7, 14:52:29)
* Open source design programs are high quality and can be used to
create a powerful workflow as a designer (jflory7, 14:52:49)
* It's not the future, and it's happening right now, such as in
projects like Fedora (jflory7, 14:53:00)
* Audience: Comments on popular tooling, mention of FocusWriter, good
utility for writing that helps you focus in your own workflow and
enhance your writing (jflory7, 14:55:21)
* Q: "What would you like to see improved in Fedora as a designer?"
(jflory7, 14:57:11)
* A: Thinking about other kinds of challenges or difficulties limited
to hardware, particularly for those using older hardware, battery
life, and other optimizations; program variety helps so having the
tools available to be alternatives to popular proprietary tools is
helpful. For me, Fedora is mostly perfect as it is. (jflory7,
