Hi Kirk,

Welcome aboard! We're currently having a bit of a brouhaha over the
wallpaper for the upcoming Fedora 15 release, but normally we're a
friendly and fun bunch. :)

We're starting to focus more on enhancing ux in fedora, so that's
great!

If you haven't done so already, I'd recommend reading up on how to join
the design team on the fedora wiki [1], and looking over the design team
ticket tracker [2] to see  if there are any open tickets you'd be
interested in claiming.

We also have weekly IRC meetings every Tuesday at 1900 UTC at
#fedora-design at freenode.net. You're welcome to start attending. 
Actually, the meetings may be put on hiatus until after the new year, so
keep a lookout on the mailing list for a notice about an upcoming
meeting. If you don't see one, we're probably not having one.

Nice to meet you!
Emily
