My name is David Hurwich, I am a front-end developer / UX designer and an Inkscape user for about a decade or so. Besides work I also teach interaction design at several colleges around the Bay Area including San Francisco State University:
I am looking to work on a non-profit UX project for my portfolio and I was wondering if Inkscape would be interested in a new updated website with included UX research. As a design teacher I know many students come to the Inkscape website and are a bit confused. My goal would be to freshen up the website to look a bit more splasher and help with user experience for beginner graphic designers who may be considering Inkscape as vector creation option.
If the community is interested I'd love to chat with others about this.
A website redevelopment plan has been started, and currently stalled because the people involved have become unavailable. I'd be happy to talk to you on chat.inkscape.org or on bigbluebutton (video chat) if you'd like to see where we are and where we could go with your help.
Great to meet you, thanks for responding to me. I love a chance to talk and see where the project is. What days / times are good for you and the group?
The vectors team meets once a month, but I feel like a more focused meeting on the website would be good to have.
I'm available on chat almost every day, you can look at the inkscape website and vectors channels in the chatroom and we can move from there on the best times to do a video meet.
I apologize about the late reply, the universities that I teach up started up last week and that has taken up all of my free time with the beginning of the semester hecticness.
Would you be able to meet next Thursday February 4th at 11am PST? We could chat via chat.inkscape.org or on bigbluebutton, which ever is easier for you.
Hi Dave, I don't know if I'm available today, things fall apart as they say. Can we reschedule? Also please do come to chat.inkscape.org anyway and join the website channel, you can post questions there and I can answer you when my time clears up. Sorry for the trouble.
