Allo allo. This is a little late but from 11/2 - 11/9
Community Design Team
Last week the Community Design Team chose the second sketch I created to finalize for the blog post so I added two extra people to the design, and I lined and colored the visual in. Jess suggested the ‘Community Design Team’ text have a drop shadow like the ‘introducing the...’ box drop shadow.
Below includes the new drop shadow.
Design Team
Led the 11/9/22 design team at 1:30 - 2:15 EST. We’re always welcoming Fedora users who are interested in joining, feel free to join the group here! There’s a live participation link as well as a live stream if you just want to observe :)
Created an epic to document Fedora Design Docs with four tickets under it. Transfer Fedora Design Wiki to Gitlab, Outreachy Feedback Survey, Regular Status Reports, and Establish Regular Newbie tickets. I’m in charge of the first two issues primarily and want to keep a healthy eye on the second two. This week had my first test at doing ticket triage during a meeting while sharing my screen, we made sure to give the design request issues some attention. It’s moments like these where your screen freezes 😂
Each ticket within the epic will get tasks to break down the goal. I’m copying people’s responses for the Outreachy Survey feedback from Element to the ticket so it’s all organized and documented. I’m also reaching out to the CPE team to get advice for setting up the Fedora Design wiki transfer. During the design team, we decided realistically this work won’t be finished until March. We need to review, update, and migrate Fedora Design content so it is maintained on Fedora design’s gitlab in asciidoc, with a cloned repo so it can automatically update on the docs.fp.o site. And I’ve never created a repo or used asciidoc so lots to learn but I’m excited.
Outreachy
This is the link to the epic where this project lives.
From Wed 11/2 - Fri 11/4 I continued providing feedback to Outreachy applicants’ contributions, accepting certain icons that were 100% or 99% complete, that successfully followed the guidelines, and had a great design. Most tickets however did not have an accepted icon.
I answered questions at the end of the 11/2 design team meeting for Outreachy applicants. One of the major questions was regarding the timeline that applicants have to provide. It’s up to each applicant to figure out how they want to divide their 12-week internship to accomplish the project’s goal.
Since the final application was due on Friday, I looked over a few contributors’ final applications giving tips and feedback. After the deadline for submissions, I had access to everyone’s final application. I spent 11/7 - 11/9 reading the 21 contributor’s applications until the deadline on Wed at 11 am EST. I finally chose a person for the internship but they won’t know until Nov 21st. Honestly, it was a struggle. Out of the whole group, there was a good chunk of regular contributors who were all really interested in the project, with great technical skills, and a willingness to improve. But I had a list of reasons for choosing this person, and I trust my gut. I want to make sure everyone who wasn’t chosen though knows how welcome and encouraged they are to stay active in the Fedora Design team.
Misc.
I completed a self-evaluation this week which was really helpful for staying on track. I also completed also a tilt360 evaluation for Mo. For half of this week, I ended each day just feeling like I was slammed all day with things to do. The other days were still full of work but not as slammed.
Happy November everyone! :D
