= About Us =
The 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.
The Fedora Design Team is Fedora's in-house design agency. We provide artwork, user experience, usability, and general design services to the Fedora project.


'''Team Leader'''
Our current team goals:

}}


== Subteams ==
* '''Template and Automate''' - Generate templates, standards, and automation where possible for more efficient and consistent artwork production.
* '''Increased focus on UX/usability''' - Increase the amount of UX and usability work we provide to the Fedora project through both more efficient usage of current designer time and also better recruitment of UX/usability team members and better documentation of UX/usability tasks and processes.
* '''FLOSS Creative Tool Education & Outreach''' - Continue to use the very same free and open source creative tools available in Fedora to design for Fedora, and increase and improve knowledge sharing with the general FLOSS community.
* '''Clear Priorities''' - Strive to be more selective about our focus as a team and set clear priorities so the things that are most important to Fedora are done in a timely and organized manner.

We have bi-weekly meetings to review tickets, chat, catch up on work, and get team feedback and direction.  Come stop by and meet everyone if you're interested in getting started with our team! We have two meeting times to allow for everyone on the team to be able to make a meeting because of our global nature. To see what time this week's meeting is please check our calendar!


:: How can we measurably achieve this goal? If we can provide the community with at least 1 major resource (tutorial, article, art asset, scheduled lesson event, scheduled outreach event (such as a contest to promote FOSS art tools) under an open license, then we can say we have successfully met this goal.
