| mikebeecham | Who would I speak to, to find out if I could contribute to the design work in Ubuntu? | 20:12 |
|---|---|---|
| thorwil | same minute gotta be record | 20:15 |
| thorwil | mikebeecham: if you have something other than wallpapers and alternative themes in mind, you could try talking to iainfarrell during london office hours | 20:23 |
| mikebeecham | thorwil, I'm an interface designer...so yeah it would be more than wallpapers and alternative themes (which I would be surprised if they wern't inundated with!!) | 20:24 |
| mikebeecham | would you have an email for him...I could perhaps drop him an email with my previous experience in it. | 20:24 |
| knome | mikebeecham, iain.farrell@canonical.com | 20:27 |
| mikebeecham | knome, thank you very much. I'll be sure to contact them. | 20:27 |
| mikebeecham | Just out of interest...do you know if they only accept 'professional' help? or will they accept contribution from anyone who will have the talent to bring something? | 20:28 |
| thorwil | mikebeecham: it seem the intended channel for contributions regarding interface design is the ayatana list. | 20:29 |
| mikebeecham | ok. Good to know. I've worked on the XBMC and Plex projects, as well as carrying out work on the Android platform...I'm just making sure that I wouldn't be wasting an email, thats all | 20:30 |
| thorwil | mikebeecham: i'd say design contributions have to convince on a case by case basis ... but you very rarely see input from the community making it | 20:30 |
| * thorwil -> pudding | 20:30 | |
| mikebeecham | thorwil, is that because there are so few talented individuals within the community (design-wise) or because Canonical choose not to use the community for it's projects? | 20:32 |
| thorwil | mikebeecham: yes and it's just that designers working full-time, face-to-face in london work to a different beat, i think | 20:43 |
| thorwil | mikebeecham: aside of the quality of a contribution, it's about filling a niche. cover a need, show something at the right time ... | 20:44 |
