The goal here is to create a proper "job board" that pairs open source people and projects in need design work with designers who can do those tasks. It will be a mixture of both gratis as well as paying work. A job can be relatively small task to an entire project. I think the ideal balance would be a mixture of about:
- 25% small singular tasks
- 15% new or fork of an existing project
- 60% product / feature development on existing projects
Note: this process is rough and a work in progress, please free to contribute ideas, approaches, and of course jobs :)
Our job submission process is done "in the open" so if you work on an open source software project or community, feel free to submit a job to our job board. Just do the following:
Easy Web Form
- Go to our form and fill in the details,
- Submit the form,
- Wait for us to approve your job posting,
- Have a margarita or a hot chocolate.
Using Terminal (for nerds)
- Fork the
jobs
repo - Copy
job-template.md
into thejobs
folder and change the name - Name your copy something like
2015-03-12-sticker-design-for-fun.md
starting with date - Make sure there is a
.md
extension to the file you copied or it won't work - Fill out the fields inside the template you just copied

After those steps you will have submitted a job to the OSD job board, you rule ;)
