on 16 November 2011


During the past UDS’ we have been repeatedly asked a better way to be reached. There are many reasons why a community member could feel the need of contacting us, and we are more than happy to hear and help if possible!

As follow up we are looking into restructuring our communication channels so that there will be a clear way to approach us based on the topic or support required. This might require some weeks and you will be promptly notified when this will take place.

For the time being, we are committed to be present in a room that the community appropriately created on irc.freenode.net. Feel free to join the #ubuntu-design channel if you need to ping any of the Design Team! You can see our IRC nicknames from the team page (just keep in mind that most of us live in the GMT+0 timezone).

Talk to you soon!
