Brief History
One fine day, Máirín(Mo) wrote this blog post[2] about her idea of an open collaboration space for FLOSS designers world over. Soon enough, at a GNOME UX hackfest in London, a bunch of designers got together to discuss what would later become Design Hub. Emily and Mo came up with an early hacky concept and presented it at the Libre Graphics Meeting[3] 2012 in Vienna[4].
Sarup joined in 2013, Design Hub grew to GlitterGallery and went from idea to prototype. Sarup presented GlitterGallery's future, again at the 2014 edition of the Libre Graphics Meeting held in Leipzig[4]. The proposal is to make GlitterGallery's first beta available for Fedora's design team to test by mid-July 2014. In yet another significant happening, Rohit joined GlitterGallery as a GSoC student in 2014 and contributed to it's core.
