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 :)

Submit a Job

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:

Easiest:

  1. Click here to create a new file here on GitHub (you need to be logged in to GitHub)
  2. It will ask you to create a fork
  3. Create a fork. Don't worry about what a fork is
  4. Fill in the details of the form
  5. Change the file name to something like 2015-03-12-sticker-design-for-fun.md
  6. Submit your pull request
  7. Have a margarita or a hot chocolate

Harder (this involves downloading the code on your computer):

  1. running rake job title="Job Title" role="Role Name" org="Organization Name"
  2. Opening the file that got generated in jobs and filling it in.
  3. Submit a pull request.
  4. Have a margarita or a hot chocolate

Hardest (a bit tedious):

  1. Fork the jobs repo
  2. Copy job-template.md into the jobs folder and change the name
  3. Name your copy something like 2015-03-12-sticker-design-for-fun.md starting with date
  4. Make sure there is a .md extension to the file you copied or it won't work
  5. Fill out the fields inside the template you just copied
  6. Submit a pull request
  7. Have a margarita or hot chocolate

After those steps you will have submitted a job to the OSD job board, you rule ;)

"Meta" Tasks:

Anything related to improving OSD directly. Listed in order of attainability.

• Identity & Logo

OSD needs to craft an identity that is of the community and responds to the idea of open source in a clear, memorable way. Maybe that means the logo is something that is continuously iterated on, maybe it is something that has a consistent form that responds to changes in the greater community/world.

• Project listing page

What projects are currently in need of completion? The current solution has been to post each project as a github issue, which might be a good solution in the short term. It might be better to have an ongoing list where designers can post and up-vote freely.

• A space on the web

http://opensourcedesign.net redirects to Github. Would it meaningfully help the community to make a site with digests of all the repos?
