[Design-team] Design team story....

[María Leandro]

Hello Robyn

Maybe we could set to continue the tomorrow meeting one hour and set
something like a massive interview to talk about this. The question will be
if the team has time after or before the meeting.

See ya

> * Look at all the different projects / deliverables Design produces

> * Tools! What are the tools used - perhaps even talk about Design Suite a

> * Discuss doing things openly - with open tools, why this is important.
> * How can non-designers help? Feedback loop, etc.

> be filing the request with design to make the design interview / story
> look better. haha!)  We could even look into maybe doing a magazine
> piece.... or print + video....

> Anyway - thoughts? I can file a ticket if necessary - although most of
> the "ticket" here is on marketing, rather than design :)
>
> I'd be happy to come to the design meeting this week and talk more
> about it, solicit some interviewees, etc.  Shall I put it on the
