Hello world, Airbnb and Lyft (design) recently had a conference call to discuss *Superset design*.
In hindsight we should have announced this meeting to the Apache community in advance. For that, I apologize. In the future we will ensure that it is both *announced in advance* and *accessible* via *freely** available* conference software such as Google Hangouts. Below I will outline the topics we covered and the proposal we would like to run past the community for *discussion and a vote*. *Topics:* - Superset design system alignment and strategy. - Superset design operating model. - Next steps and action items. *Superset Design Operating System (proposal to vote on)* The goal of this operating system proposal is to standardize on *community accessible* (design related) discussion, proposals, process and reviews. 1. Ad hoc (*only minor*) design discussion will happen in the Apache Superset #design *community accessible* slack channel. 2. Design changes to Apache Superset should be proposed through the *community accessible* dev@superset.incubator.apache.org email alias for a vote. 3. Apache Superset will be designed in Sketch <https://www.sketchapp.com/> (unlike Photoshop, there is no comparable free tool). Sketch files *community accessible* (for free) through Sketch Cloud <https://www.sketchapp.com/docs/sketch-cloud/>. Please note many companies use different design tools. For example we at Airbnb use Figma. However, Sketch and Figma are backwards compatible. 4. When design changes are submitted to the Apache Superset repo they should be tagged with the *community accessible* 'design' tag. *Two requests:* - If anyone is designing Superset in any a tool other than Sketch or Figma please let the community know so we can work to ensure compatibility and access. - If there are any other designers engaging with Superset (past, present or future) please add them to the thread know so we can ensure they have a voice. *Attention:* - Superset design will reconvene at the end of January. Date, time and links will be shared with the Apache community in advance. Looking forward to your feedback. Best, Eli -- Eli Sebastian Brumbaugh
