Dearadh Oscailte Abú! (Open Design Forever!)
I wanted to give you an update on the status of the Fedora Design team’s interns. We currently have two interns on our team: Mary Shakshober – (IRC: mshakshober) Mary started her internship full time this summer and amongst other things designed the beautiful, Polish folk art-inspired Flock 2016 logo. She’s currently working limited hours …
Hubs and Chat Integration Basics One of the planned features of Fedora Hubs that I am most excited about is chat integration with Fedora development chat rooms. As a mentor and onboarder of designers and other creatives into the Fedora project, I’ve witnessed IRC causing a lot of unnecessary pain and delay in the onboarding …
Two weekends ago now, we had a 2-day Fedora Activity Day (heh, a 2-day day) for the Fedora Design Team. We had three main goals for this FAD, although one of them we didn’t cover (:-() : Hold a one-day badges hackfest – the full event report is available for this event – we have …
This past weekend, the Fedora Design Team held an Inkscape and Fedora Badges workshop at Red Hat’s office in Westford, Massachusetts. (You can see our public announcement here.) Why did the Fedora Design Team hold this event? At our January 2015 FAD, one of the major themes of things we wanted to do as a …
What’s going on with Hubs? So a little update for those not following closely to get you up to date: We have a big milestone we’re working towards – a working version of Fedora Hubs in time for Flock. It won’t have all of the bells and whistles of the mockups that we’ve presented, but …
The Fedora Cloud Working Group recently decided that in Fedora 24 (or perhaps a bit further out depending on how the tooling/process can support it) that the Atomic version of Fedora is going to be the primary focus of the working group. (Background discussion on their list is available too.) This has an affect on …
For the past few weeks I have been working on mockups and the HTML/CSS for a new Fedora website, the Fedora Developer portal (likely to eventually live at developers.fedoraproject.org.) The goal of the site is to provide resources and information to developers building things on Fedora (not primarily developers contributing to Fedora itself.) A bunch …
The dream is real – we are cranking away, actively building this very cool, open source, socially-oriented collaboration platform for Fedora. Myself and Meghan Richardson, the Fedora Engineering Team’s UX intern for this summer, have been cranking out UI mockups over the past month or so (Meghan way more than me at this point. 🙂 …
I have been very occupied in recent weeks with piggies of various shapes, sizes, and missions in life [1], so I missed posting the last design team meeting update. This is going to be a quick two-for-one with mostly links and not any summary at all. I’ve been trying hard to run the meetings so …
So a couple of weeks ago I mentioned the work robyduck and the Fedora websites team have been putting in on the new websites for Fedora, primarily, spins.fedoraproject.org and labs.fedoraproject.org. Here’s the handy little diagram I put together back then to explain: This week, robyduck got the new site designs into staging, which means you …
