[Freedombox-discuss] Looking for UX designers

[Stefano Maffulli]

Hi all,

I'm asking my friends designers to join this group and help us shape the
user experience of FreedomBox. The message I'm sending them is more or
less the following. If you know user experience designers, feel free to
adapt the text below when you contact them.

Cheers,
stef

Dear <name>

At the FreedomBox Foundation, we're developing a new generation of 
software-powered devices to enable private communications between 
citizens around the world -- and we need the eyes and expertise of User
eXperience people to make it happen.

Think of all the people who don't have the luxury of freedom of speech 
and all the dissidents whose list of friends is the best way for a 
government to shut down a revolution before it even starts.

We want to give them an *easy to use* tool that allows citizens to be 
safe online. Our emphasis on the ease of use is because most of the 
basic tech tools to achieve the goal already exist, but their wider use 
and adoption is limited by their complexity.

This is a social problem with a technological solution, it's a new 
territory and we're at the very early stages of defining how the 
FreedomBox will reach its goals.

We're looking for user experience gurus to help us define how normal 
people can browse the Internet safely, without sharing their information
with entities that are not supposed to be seeing who they talk to, where
they go and what they're saying to each other. These people need your 
experience and your ideas to drive the design of FreedomBox and make 
sure that ease of use is always the priority.

Can you join the conversation by signing up and participating in our 
mailing list?
