Creation Of The Design Working Group

[Mayaleeeee]

This group has already held several informal meetings and discussions, and we are now formalizing it as a space for collaboration, growth, and meaningful contributions from designers across the community.

Goal

The Design Working Group exists to:

• Grow and support the design community within the AsyncAPI Initiative.

• Encourage active participation and collaboration among designers.

• Elevate the importance of design and user experience across AsyncAPI projects.

• Demonstrate that design is a core pillar of the AsyncAPI Initiative, not just a nice-to-have.

Founding Members

• @Oloso-surur - Active Design Contributor, 2024 AsyncAPI Maintainership Design Mentee (Holopin Badge)
• @Shriya-Chauhan - Active Design Contributor, 2025 GSoC Mentee (AsyncAPI Website Redesign)
• @nwanduka - Active Design Contributor (Mascot Redesign)
• @TenzDelek - Active Design Contributor, 2025 GSoC Mentee (Conference Website)
• @jaishree - Active Design Contributor.
  This group is open and welcoming to anyone passionate about design and user experience research.

Chair
@Mayaleeeee and @Shriya-Chauhan
will serve as the first two chairpersons, but the role will be rotated amongst other members in the future.

Expectations of members in the working group

• Active participation in the Design working group
• Participate in setting the direction of the Design WG

• Provide insights and expertise to enhance the group's effectiveness

@asyncapi/governance-board remember that with updated governance model you first need to review this issue and validate if all information needed for the voting is contained here + trigger the voting

Hi @Mayaleeeee and @Shriya-Chauhan, I have a few questions, so we have all the requirements beforehand.

• Did you complete the Leading High-Performance Working Group Meetings course ?
• I see the goals defined, but not the objectives. Can you also add these?
• Also, where and how are you planning to track the work?
• It'll also be required to write quarterly reports once the community goals are defined for 2026.
• Are there any meetings happening, and how often, and where do these happen?
