Awesome! I'm so glad to see you have so much open source tool experience :) Our normal process for joining the team is that we ask new recruits to take on a minor ticket in our tracking system as sort of practical/applied introduction to how the Fedora community works. You end up making connections and learning the Fedora infrastructure through that which powers you to taking on bigger projects. I don't know if the design ticket has been filed yet, but the Fedora infrastructure team (#fedora-admin on irc.freenode.net) yesterday was talking about needing a Fedora skin for a stickynotes web app they're looking to deploy. A test instance of it is available at: http://dcr226.co.uk/paste/sticky-notes We'd want, at a minimum, for the design/template to match our newer Fedora infrastructure templates such as for Fedora packages (I did the skin for this one): https://community.dev.fedoraproject.org/packages/inkscape Or Koji, our build system (Ryan Lerch, who is also based in Australia at the moment, did the skin for this): http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/ Let me know if this seems like an intro project you'd like to take on. Alternatively we could find something more UX-centric for you to take on since you have strong interest and ability in UX stuff. We do have a few pending usability assessments and mockup requests in the ticket system. Our list of open tickets is here: https://fedorahosted.org/design-team/report/1?asc=1&page=1 Anyway, I don't want to overload you with information; if the sticky-notes project looks interesting let me know and I can get a ticket for it assigned to you, otherwise let's chat more about potential UX projects? ~m _______________________________________________ design-team mailing list design-team@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/design-team
