Thanks for FUDcon Berlin!

Posted in Uncategorized by mairin on July 1, 2009

I just wanted to write a quick post to thank everyone involved with FUDcon Berlin. It was definitely an extremely well-organized trip (it really showed), and a wonderful experience. I travelled to the conference by myself, so you can imagine I had quite a bit of anxiety about finding my way around and getting settled in, but things like the Attendee Survival Kit and travel info on the wiki made it a very comfortable trip. Folks went out of their way to be helpful and I really appreciate that. I was also very happy to finally meet in person many of the European folks I’ve worked with over the years and never had the pleasure of meeting face-to-face! I was able to get quite a few things done while there, including:

  • Met with Joel Granados and coming up with some ideas for improving the anaconda storage UI;
  • Met with Thomas Woerner about the system-config-firewall UI and brainstormed some improvements for it;
  • Gave a talk to talk about Fedora Community, and got a lot of *great* ideas for future features from folks in the session;
  • Gave a UI design clinic talk where we went through Bacula’s interface and hopefully effectively demonstrated at least part of the UI design process (I’ve gotten a few emails afterwards about it so I think the demonstration of the design process worked :) );
  • Gave some demos of Fedora at the LinuxTag booth, including a demo of Fedora’s tablet capabilities showing off handwriting recognition;
  • Took a ton of photos; hopefully some can be useful for the Fedora picture book;
  • Took a photo survey of the event signage, in hopes that the Design Team can create an event signage kit with templates for future events;
  • Made a cool poster of event participants and a video showing how the poster was made in Inkscape with Nicu. :)

Overall, a very productive and enjoyable trip, so thanks again!

New Design Team Request Queue

Posted in Uncategorized by mairin on July 1, 2009

You may have interacted with the Fedora Design Team in the past by filing a request on our Design Service wiki page.

I’m happy to announce that wiki page has been deprecated; we are now using the ticket system on our Fedora Hosted Trac instance. So if you need to file a request with the Fedora Design Team, you may now do so here:

https://fedorahosted.org/design-team/newticket

A big thanks goes out to Ian Weller for transferring all our requests over to the new ticket system! :)
