Time for a quick update about a couple of projects I’ve blogged about recently:

Lizard Feeder
As noted in the original post, the deadline for your data visualization ideas, concepts, mock-ups, etc is this Friday (February 20). Yesterday, Dave shared the work that’s been done so far, so definitely check that out if you missed it…as always it’s quite amazing/inspiring to see what people come up with.

If you’re interested in contributing, we’d love to hear your thoughts…just head over to the bug and share your thoughts. And if you need any direction, I’d suggest keeping these points in mind:

1. Activity – the visualization should really show off the constant activity within the Mozilla community. Something very static probably won’t work.
2. Simplicity – with so much data available, it’s certainly possible to do something incredibly complex. However, we’d like this to be understandable at a quick glance.

Ping me or Dave if you have any questions. We’re looking forward to seeing what you come up with!

Creative Collective
Work on the Creative Collective is continuing to roll along. As noted earlier, I did some speaking on this topic while in Europe last week and was encouraged by people’s reactions. Tara and I are currently working with Airbag Industries to scope out the details so the design work can begin…on that note, if you have any thoughts on the current project overview, please let me know.

Also, we’re sorting out a few options for the MCC logo. Whatever we end up doing, we’re going to make it as open a process as possible, so stay tuned for details. Lastly, if you’re interested in following the project a little more closely or even joining in at some point, allow me to suggest signing up for the design community mailing list one more time.
