WELCOME

Hello future contributor! Happy to find you here 💞

The work we do is with, for, and by the community and everyone’s invited to help us share, learn, create, and connect better.

Contributors are community stewards - like an expansion of our core organizing team of 4 part-time bbs and supporting the work we do.

This page has a list of WHAT contributions might look like, as well as HOW to get the ball rolling.

If you’re left with any questions by the end of it, simply find us in the https://aixdesign.slack.com/archives/C041TFKA2LQ channel on Slack and ask!

Help us make a nicer version of the AIoAI community gallery where we collect and publish the images people make as part of Archival Images of AI workshops. Nicer being = Easier to see at glance, easier to update, participatory submissions, clear consent and crediting mechanisms, edited sorting. See current version in

Help us rebuild our website aixdesign.co on Framer

AIxDESIGN are currently in the process of redesigning our website and we are migrating over to framer, however we are total noobs about to embark on this learning curve.

Any framer die-hards in the community willing to answer our questions as they come up? Things we should know or walls we’re likely to hit? Pls reveal yourselves here or shoot me a DM to Ana Marques if you’re willing to help us out 💖

Help us make the Slack Community channel better!

There’s 1000+ people in there but the setup of the space can be improved to help people make connections. I’m imagining doing an audit and re-organizing of current channels, setting up prompts and guidance that supports meaningful exchange, and other small hacks to help people connect.
