Robert,<br>

I appreciate you coming forward and stepping up to take the
responsibility for the artwork. If everyone is in agreement then I
think we have ourselves a blag art maintainer. If there is a specific
name for the role that would provide a better understanding to others
in and out of the community, please forward your suggestions. The goal
in having individuals take on a specific role is to provide a framework
to begin managing contributions. I do not want people to feel
overwhelmed that they are doing a "job", but providing the means for
bridging areas where it can not be just one individuals responsibility.
Each person wants to make contributions and I believe its important
that if a group of people are maintaining that area, it will help to
moderate how we progress. I want to provide contributions in every area
of BLAG, but I also know that I can not stretch myself thin and provide
the best of myself all at once and I thank all those again who are
helping us get to the release.<br>

I'll be happy to take responsibility for the art for blag if noone
objects to it. Being very fond of the original artwork, I would like us
to create something with a similar feel. <br>
<br>
Have started work on a new blag icon theme, which I will try to keep in
the same vein as really little guys (which is still very usable, but
anyway needs some updating). Haven't actually made a coherent theme
before, but as I am reasonably experienced with design and drawing, the
learning curve should not be too steep. Will upload some sketches to
riseup within a few days.<br>
<br>
If I am accepted as responsible for the art, I would not expect to make
it all myself, so everyone: Please join riseup, and contribute all your
photos, drawings, themes, icons sketches and ideas to blag+ artists:-)<br>
<br>
Will be on the irc this weekend. I'm 2 hours ahead of UTC, and most of
Saturday or Sunday should be possible with a little
appointment-switching.<br>

<br>
It came to my attention that this message that I posted to the forums<br>
was not duplicated here on the list, so here you go before my next<br>
message which will be a bit longer.<br>
<br>
:-)<br>
<br>
<br>
Up until this point, I have been learning what I can in order to try and<br>
build the next release, but I need some more help from all of you who<br>
possess some great skills and who want to dedicate the time contribute<br>
too. I've seen many post of people wanting to contribute and up to this<br>
point I have appreciative of your willingness to help. In the same<br>
token, there's much to be done and there's been no specific discussion<br>
on what should and can be done. Today, I want to address that, so people<br>
who have ideas can begin contributing. So, I'll just be frank.<br>
<br>
One <a moz-do-not-send="true" href="http://we.riseup.net/blag"
target="_blank">we.riseup.net/blag</a>, I have created committees to
showcase areas<br>
where I think we need development. This is just a brief outline<br>
<br>
Please register and login while you're reading this message to take a<br>
look.<br>
<br>
Development<br>
------------------<br>
In any case, I would like to take a lead role for the development for<br>
120k, but I need some more help. For anyone who has operating system<br>
development, please join the development committee and I would like to<br>
establishing task that we need to take on. i would like some help from<br>
pablo, who posted to the whereto list recently on completing the<br>
framework we need for the future<br>
<br>
Webdevelopment<br>
------------------------<br>
junichiro(aka zenblagger), I would like for you to take the role in<br>
leading the development for a new design for the site, wiki, trac,<br>
forums, etc. for those interested in web development and design, please<br>
join that committee. i've set up some task that I think is a start.<br>
<br>
Artists<br>
--------<br>
There is no specific person, I have in mind for this role but please<br>
volunteer yourself if you are interested in taking on the role of<br>
maintaining the art for blag. I'll comment later on what the details. I<br>
feel the the traditional artwork is great, but I would like to see new<br>
art around the site, on the cd and in other areas.<br>
<br>
This is also a broad category, so I would include individuals who do<br>
media work to. we can always create sub-committees within committees if<br>
necessary<br>
<br>
Contributors and Users<br>
-------------------------------<br>
I would really like to see some general hashing on the wiki. It's a<br>
monster in itself. As, I think the webdevelopment would be responsible<br>
for design, I forsee the roles in these groups as encompassing a number<br>
of responsibilities which I think stand for themselves. Developing a<br>
framework for support to those new to the community is all I have. What<br>
can we do better?<br>
<br>
Veterans<br>
------------<br>
You're always around. Keep doing what you're doing, but what we need<br>
from you is more active presence.<br>
<br>
I would like to propose that we meet this Saturday, May 15th on IRC to<br>
discuss all the issues, but during the week, I urge everyone just become<br>
familiar with riseup so that there is a common place where documents can<br>
live that people can work on individually or in groups.<br>
