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

For faster feedback, many active members of the Design Team also hang out in IRC at #fedora-art and #fedora-design on irc.freenode.net.

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.
