jelkner has quit (Quit: Leaving)16:07
thomasboimahACTION going to read the begin of the log16:07
thomasboimah*beginning16:07
thomasboimahACTION done16:15
smohamudCool, @thomas16:17
smohamudWhat project are you doing UI/UX for these days?16:17
thomasboimahsmohamud, Recently I was working on the-blog, which is pretty much done for now, and I’ve also been working with Jeff students on the Grace Hopper Center Technology Library app (https://codeberg.org/GraceHopperCenter/ghctechlib.git) . Those are the main projects I’ve been working on recently from a UI/UX perspective.16:17
smohamudcool16:17
smohamudBefore we meet, I want you to think about the types of users / visitors those websites would have. Typically there are various groupings of similar users, all of who have different priorities and needs on a website. 16:18
smohamudOnce you know your users you can begin to design the UI/UX so that they can get to what they need the fastest and in a way that is intuitive for them, based on their background.16:19
smohamudDoes that sound like something you want to give a try?16:20
thomasboimahsmohamud, I guess you have talked with Jeff about this project, can you please tell me more on what Dr hubbard want or the type of project?16:20
thomasboimahsure 16:20
smohamudCool16:20
thomasboimahsmohamud, I guess you have talked with Jeff about this project, can you please tell me more on what Dr hubbard want or the type of project? since that was not mention in the log16:21
smohamudand I don't know much. What I know is: Dr. Hubbard wrote a paper (possibly his grad school thesis) on the state of US Infrastructure.16:21
smohamudI believe his goal is to raise awareness of areas that are severely lacking in quality infrastructure, possibly to make it easy for users to take political action too by emailing government representatives.16:22
smohamudSunday we'll come with questions to find out what he wants, what his goals are etc.16:22
thomasboimahgotcha you, Thanks16:23
smohamudcool16:23
