<div dir="ltr">Hello everyone,<br><br>I work with MorpheuZ and the others in INdT here in Brazil, ( where I am the lead designer and product owner) and after a long time contributing to the company's projects in the UX / UI / areas, finally I see something that really interests me going on (because of QT entering the boat). This seems that apart from what people thinks, I see now more chance to do usability / interaction and experience work with you (KDE guys) then with the others, specially in the way we believe it should be done.<br>
<br>Arthur then told me that you guys are moving towards a shell to the N810 / IT or better any Mobile internet device out there (this is great) and I think we can for sure dedicate our free time to help as much as possible on this, from small details to bigger tasks, whatever needs help to get done. We have a lot of ideas, that were never used because they were too different from the hildon concept, and that also are not related to the future of hildon, so they have more or less their own way focused on tasks and users using thumbs (or index) fingers 100% of the time, as well using as much as possible the freedom to rotate the screen and keep the experience while taking advantage of that orientation (scrolling long lists) and so on.<br>
<br>It will be a pleasure to help, and please let me know of anything else you guys think we can help, based in our prior experience. <br><br>I am quite frustated that I wasn't able to go to Akademy, specially because I wanted to get in touch (actually meet them) with Celeste and Ellen to extend some of their projects to Brazilian universities that we have projects in. ( now we already have 28 students of Design receiving scolarship ) and it would be nice to help them evolve in the opensource world, helping live projects and in the end helping us to find out the best way to have designers and developers working together (what we know it's the day to day challenge in any people-oriented projects, not only opensource based)<br>
<br>I am all eyes to any information you guys think would be relevant for me to know, and I will try to catch up with what you guys have in mind asap and contribute to it in the best way possible!<br><br>Cheers from Brazil,<br>
