Hi,
it would be a great chance for me joining this FAD, but I was wondering
if there are any special requirements in order to participate apart from
being a team member and--naturally--interested in the proposed
activities.

Hi,
Looking on our team and how it's worked for a while, you'll notice
some things going wrong right now. Some changes over time have
affected the design team. For example, there are no code names
anymore, and fedora.next has shifted how we will organize and ship
Fedora. Also, our trac queue contains a lot of open tickets that are
very old, and we don't have an organized and consistent way to share
design assets (for example, our Fedora People shared account hasn't
been used in the past 3 years, and we've tried an art board,
Sparkleshare on git, and other solutions but none have stuck yet.)
We want to bring some light in that darkness, so Mo and I agreed on
trying to get the team together on a FAD. The main purpose for this
FAD would be to put a structure in place to help handle our work in
the future, and make design team collaboration (and new design team
member ramp-up) easy and fun.
We think the FAD should happen over a weekend, from 16th - 18th
January 2015, to enable more people to be able to come. Since the more
active part of the team is mostly US-based right now, we thought its
the best idea to do in the US, so the place will be near Boston in
Westford, Massachusetts USA at the Red Hat engineering office (we can
use the facility for free and have Mo and Ryan on the ground able to
help.)
What we need now is to know who want to participate, so that we can
calculate the costs and arrange an budget for it. Here are the types
of things and skillsets we're looking for:
- Designers to help create badges, logos, mockups, etc. as requested
in the open tickets on our trac queue at
https://fedorahosted.org/design-team/report/1
- 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.
- Anyone familiar with FAS to help us go through our membership list
and clean out inactive members and tend to pending requests.
- Designers and anyone else willing to participate in brainstorming a
solution about Fedora's release artwork process.
You can view our draft FAD proposal on the wiki:

Please add your name as an interested participant and let us know your
location / local airport so we can start putting together a full
budget for this event.
