Details of the Talk
This talk will try to give a primer on what we've done, who we are and where you can help out.
There's a number of areas where the design team has worked closely together with the developers to improve LibreOffice:
- Two new dialogues in Calc
- The splash screens and other logo-bearing imagery was updated
- New masterpages for Impress
- etc.
(And some things were left by the wayside.)
There also were a number of changes to the way the design team works:
- different Whiteboard workflow on the wiki
- IRC and Google Plus as additional means of communication
- Some quite significant members sadly had to leave the team
For the future, we are interested in:
- Particular enhancements to LibreOffice (see our Whiteboard pages)
- Further improving our process
- Finding an actual vision for the future LibreOffice
Where you can pitch in:
- Graphic design (icons, templates, marketing material)
- UX design (mainly improving existing UI)
