The primary communication channel for the fedora-art team is the mailing list.

See the communicate page for all the details on how the Design Team communicate.

Overview

The Fedora Design Team is the design group of the Fedora project. Our interests are not only in creating graphics for use by the Fedora community, but also in advocating the use of the creative tools that are a part of Fedora.

While filing bug reports and providing feedback is extremely valuable, we also need help with our active projects. If you would like to contribute, please complete the following steps:

Getting Started

Let us get to know you.

  1. Join the Element Fedora Design group chat.
  2. Introduce yourself to the group chat; talk about your art/design experience and interests so we'll know what kinds of design tasks you might be interested in helping out with.
  3. Sign up for a Fedora Account, you'll need it later!
  4. Complete the Fedora Project Contributor Agreement (FPCA) through the Account System . This will ensure that the contributions you make are properly licensed!
  5. Complete a small task to join the team. To find something to work on, you can do any of the following:
    • Claim and complete a design ticket at the design service queue
    • Create artwork for a badge needing artwork at the Fedora badges queue.
    • Email the mailing list to be assigned a task.
