I'll add more as I receive recommendations.

@edrushka @xmatthewx Maybe we can have a call at some point soon and work out the SOW as well as a timeline for when we would need the designer to start. We could also use the time to go through the various portfolios.

Everyone – Bobby is building a list of potential contractors and a refined system for engaging with them on projects. He's visiting this thread as an observer.

@secretrobotron - We're specifically looking for a London based designer to handle production projects, starting with people connected to Ravensbourne. You can track our review of people in #47 to see if anyone might be useful for other projects post Mozfest.

Bobby the observer.

@marcwalsh any luck scheduling an interview with Jessica?

Could you also please share any portfolios you've received so far from the Ravensbourn posting?

[marcwalsh-zz]

@kristinashu - Jessica is currently working full time at an internship, so is unsure about time commitments. I'm gathering some more as well as doing some research into alumni that I can contact.

• Nihal Shah 1 & 2
• Oliver Jordan
• Ed Yau - Ed is currently working full time however he has said he would pair with another freelancer who would be able to assist with the install. I have previously worked with Ed when I ran The Degree Show at Ravensbourne back in 2014.

Thanks, I've added them to the spreadsheet along with a few notes.

@kristinashu Ed has proposed to work with Carrie-Ann James on the project. Would be great to get feedback on here also and if we would want to move forward with both of them.

Contractors would like more context about due dates so I've started adding some info (dates and any github tickets we have) to our Mozfest Design Assets 2016 doc https://docs.google.com/a/mozilla.com/spreadsheets/d/1P4co4m11LE7hNQoM3xf0AgSEcl9KY-lrqcU-xINWEq0/edit?usp=sharing

@marcwalsh @edrushka @sabrinang please add any other info might have.

Also working on contract here https://github.com/MozillaFoundation/Mozfest2016_production/issues/59
