The goal here is to create a proper "job board" that pairs open source people and projects in need design work with designers who can do those tasks. It will be a mixture of both gratis as well as paying work. A job can be relatively small task to an entire project. I think the ideal balance would be a mixture of about:
- 25% small singular tasks
- 15% new or fork of an existing project
- 60% product / feature development on existing projects
Note: this process is rough and a work in progress, please free to contribute ideas, approaches, and of course jobs :)
Our job submission process is done "in the open" so if you work on an open source software project or community, feel free to submit a job to our job board. Just do the following:
Easy Web Form

Using Terminal (for nerds)

jobs
repo - Copy

folder and change the name - Name your copy something like
