It looks like you know what are you doing and are able become a valuable 
contributor. Do not be afraid to jump in in any ongoing task we are 
working on here on the list. Also, if you have original ideas, please go 
forward and show/talk about them.

And you can also find us on IRC on #fedora-design, a channel about 
creating art *for* Fedora and #fedora-art, a channel about creating art 
*with* Fedora.
