Re: [libreoffice-design] Kicking Off the LibreOffice Design Team

Hi all!

I just picked Irmhild's mail, but - of course - I read all your
encouraging thoughts. Currently, we have some guests during the weekend,
so my involvement is limited to the time when the others already
sleep :-)

Originally, I've planned to send out the invitations today, but since
David asked for some content for the "Get Involved - Designers" Site
[1], this text [2] might be re-usable for the request. So I'd like to
wait for David's / your comments until tomorrow ...

@ Ivan: Thanks for your thoughts - you already outlined my thoughts very
well. Great ;-)

@ Irmhild: Wow, I didn't knew that you got the message. I thought to
come back to the German list to invite you - but having you already
here, is just great!

@ Paulo: "Raised hands! And feets too!" So, a usability professional
that can also fly? :-) To be honest, great summary concerning the dialog
you've made - with regard to the short time. Of course, some things
might stay or need tweaking (because of: constraints, use cases, ...),
but great start!

Good night everyone,
Christoph
