PyMT is looking for a graphic designer !

2009-09-04T10:19:00-04:00

The PyMT project is currently looking for a graphic/ui designer to help make the examples and widgets look nicer. The main task is to unify the look of widgets (buttons, sliders, text areas, menus) and choose an appropriate color theme. Our framework supports most graphic formats but we prefer SVG files as they can scale nicely.

As PyMT is an non-funded open source project, this is a voluntary position. With that being said, we think it's a nice opportunity to work on a novel system that breaks the barriers and limitations of traditional GUIs and furthermore, we're a fun gang to work with !

The easiest way to get involved is to come chat with us on our IRC channel : #pymt on Freenode. You can also communicate with us using our mailing list : pymt-dev ''at'' googlegroups.com
