OSL Donation web page

Hi Kellie,

knowing your work for a while I know you can do better than that. Moreover, I know how your design can look good when you’re into it, and this doesn’t seem to be the case. I don’t want you to design as a way of doing your school assignment here. I want you to design because that’s what you’re excited about. I don’t think I would be too far from the truth if I would guess that you’re not excited about designing this webpage, while you were excited about the icon design. I don’t know if you’ve ever gotten to read that article I recommended to you sometime this year, but I think you should not show too much humility here. You chose this project because you’re interesting in contributing your design skills to the OLPC project, and not so you can be a free-labor force for whatever this developer group needs. I do hope you get to the point were you’re gladly contributing on more than one aspect, but I think you need to become more involved first.

What I recommend is for you to do what you’re excited about first, and then if you develop working relations and feelings of belonging I am sure you will help more. For you to just automatically fill any graphic need would not be a sustainable open source work relationship and would not make the benefit of what you have to give.
