Description

Design squad is a new initiative to connect flavors with volunteers who are interested in contributing design and similar skills. The flavors have unique challenges such as uneven workloads of design and branding tasks from release to release, and need of specialized skill sets. Even when the team has a design or art volunteer they tend to be a single person, or one time contributors.

Rather than a centralized effort, the squad aims to be an additional resource for flavors and a hub for volunteers who aim to contribute in this area.

This will be a brief talk to introduce the initiative and its goals.
