In our initial discussion, we came up with several ideas. For example:
* Individual Canonical designers can introduce themselves on IRC
more so that other contributors get to know them and discuss things
with them. Where possible, we'll also mention what we're working on
at the moment. (There'll always be some times when we're working on
private stuff.)
* Have monthly public campaigns to design solutions for particular
problems in Ubuntu.
* We can improve the way we deal with design ideas posted on
Brainstorm and Launchpad. (We're just not sure how yet.;-)
* Encourage design work that happens by itself without Canonical help.
For example, the non-default background pictures for each Ubuntu
version, and the installer slideshow, are produced mostly without
Canonical involvement. A future example could be improvements to
application icons. (You can see many blurry icons in Ubuntu Software
Center.)
* When software needs other artwork (for example, new icons), we can
post the request to the ubuntu-art@ mailing list, instead of
assuming that a Canonical artist has to do it.
We'll start on these actions in the new year.
Cheers
