Dearadh Oscailte Abú! (Open Design Forever!)
Today I gave a talk at DevConf.cz, which I previously gave as a keynote this past November at SeaGL, about UX and Free Software using the ChRIS project as an example. This is a blog-formatted version of that talk, although you can view a video of it here from SeaGL if you’d rather a video. …
I think in tech, it’s really important to get as much inclusive language as we can nailed down as soon as we can. One trend I’ve seen as time has gone on is that we’re abstracting on top of abstractions further and further out. If we can clean up the base it’s all built on …
(This blog post is part of a series; view the full series page here.) What is ChRIS? Something I’ve been working on for a while now at Red Hat is a project we’re collaborating on with Boston Children’s Hospital, the Massachusetts Open Cloud (MOC), and Boston University. It’s called the ChRIS Research Integration Service or …
We’re prepping the regcfp site for Flock to open up registrations and CFP for Flock. As a number of changes are underfoot for this year’s Flock compared to previous Flocks, we’ve needed to change up the registration form accordingly. (For those interested, the discussion has been taking place on the flock-planning list). This is a …
Whoah! Another anaconda post! Yes! You should know that the anaconda developers are working hard at fixing bugs, improving features, and adding enhancements all the time, blog posts about it or not. 🙂 Today Chris and I talked about how the UI might work for anaconda crash recovery. So here’s the thing: Anaconda is completely …
The last time I wrote about Hyperkitty here, we talked about the overall information architecture of the app, reviewed the UI as it is right now, as well as thought about how to list all of the lists on the mailman server in a nice, browseable way that gives you more information about each list …
I emailed Aurélien early this week to see if I could help with HyperKitty. He said he would appreciate a UI review for mistakes and some help with icons too. Since it has been a very long while since I’ve been involved with HyperKitty, and a few months since I checked out the HyperKitty test …
Designing interfaces to deal with storage technologies is not only hard, it’s terrifying. This is especially true if you aren’t familiar with the storage technologies involved and have to learn how they work on-the-fly, even if you don’t have easy or any access to work with some of these (typically quite expensive) technologies first-hand. After …
So you’re getting a blog post on this because I missed having something to show Garrett before he finished work for the day (he’s several timezones ahead of me and I was overly slow.) 🙂 This may be crispier than it would have been had I caught him. Let me catch you up on where …
We’ve been having a bit of a Anaconda custom partitioning UI thrown down the past couple of days in #anaconda to try to make some more progress on it. You may recall, the direction we’d most recently taken the mockups involved a UI centered around the mount points that are / will be created on …
