 Hello everyone Thank you Yeah, I'm a Leo. I'm from Albania. I'm a designer at uni Unis a network measurement censorship tool at the tour project so you can use it to see if there's any Website blocked in your region or country. I'm also a member at the open-lapse hacker space in Tirana and Yes, I met Jan and a few other open-source designers like two three years ago and Wow, there exists something like open-source design. I thought like This wouldn't be possible. So This is when I joined and like just one year later. I started Ura which Which is our own agency with open-source design values So the story was that Two years ago we we were organizing a conference in Albania and Our designers and media sponsors were asking us. Hey, can you send us the logo? Can you send us via email and it was very tiresome for me personally because I was doing that Myself and I was like exporting SVG's EPS into JPEGs PNGs into all different formats and it became very tiresome for me and I I met a guy who was like having this service It was called Randy's die and it was proprietary but And we liked it because like you could like host your own logos and in EPS or PDF and convert it into any size you like and you basically just Give the link to any any of your sponsors or whatever Designers and they they can download it and do whatever they want with them It was pretty expensive. It was like two hundred forty dollars a year or something three hundred dollars like that and and Yeah, they sponsored us and I was like thinking Yeah, this is very useful, but it was proprietary software and like one day. I got a newsletter Half a year ago and they said like hey brandy side was being acquired by brand dot AI So we are changing our roadmap and blah blah blah. Okay. Yeah, I kind of expected it's proprietary software, right and Because of this change I was like thinking we need to have something like that which is actually open source and Well, it doesn't depend on any acquisition or company changing its faith of the software and funnily enough just a Few months after we decided to build a new open-source software to do that and even more than that Invision is buying brandy ste and is killing it off and Next month in March brandy see will be that and it will not exist anymore So anyone who uploaded stuff on there, they will not be able to use it So it was like the best decision we did to actually do an alternative to that so Yeah Enter Identity up which is It's basically solving a similar problem So what you can do with identity up is that you have a project for example in our case It's Firefox where we also do have an open design community is in Mozilla and you can Basically host all your icons here As SVG files, so you don't have to deal with any different formats. You just upload your SVG files and identity up is Taking care if you want to do conversions if you want to embed them. It's working as a CDN so what you can do here is for example, I go to the Firefox logo and Yeah, I want the SVG source file or I just want to link to the SVG source file so what you can do here is actually get the embed link and put that every anywhere you want and Later on you can update the exact SVG file here and it gets updated everywhere So we can basically do a rebranding of your project in the future without uploading new logos and new visual assets Everywhere, of course, it's automated. So we probably need to check manually a bit but it's it saves you a bit of time as well and Right now you can also specify If you want the SVG in any pain PNG resolution, for example, right now we have a 500 pixel PNG resolution. So let's say for example 300 You can add that as a size and download it right away So it just downloaded the same logo for me in a 300 pixel PNG So this has the advantage that If you go to all this media kits on different websites or projects They give you a huge zip folder with SVG PNG folders and different formats different color sets so this would save it because this would save time for a lot of people because there was a single source of truth and it's SVG and Yeah, if you want different flavors you basically go here instead of just packing it into a source file into a zip package The advantage of SVG is is because it's basically HTML and web compatible code So it's also code which is friendly for developers, but it's also vector, which is well what designers use going further On identity app Because we had a nice talk about fonts. We decided also with that we should be able to also support fonts So right now we only have support with Google Fonts This is going to be expanded with custom fonts later on But what you can do right now is that you can add a font By simply searching it on from Google Fonts So if your font is source stands for example You can select it here and select all the weights you want to use You want to well your brand represents and they're being added here automatically So this is just a preview So if you want to download the font it fetches it from Google Fonts And you can just download it right away here As a source file ttf or otf Same goes also for the colors Right now we have a color palette of the new Firefox UX And Whatever color you need you get the you get the hex code here soon We're gonna have also the cm yk Specification if you want to use it for print and Yeah, I bet it's it's pretty self explainable You can also customize It in a way of a style guide. So right now we have different sections here A section for every Firefox brand What you can do is that you can just rearrange them in if you want to have different Different and and fast emphasizing or Different subsections at all You can also use a description To explain what how you should you be using this logo Theoretically you can also add a what not to do section if you if you Care about that as well in the In the last section we also have general images Which is photos? So you can just put any png or jpeg as a source file so to speak So if you have a team photo And you want to represent your team with that photo You can put it up here and in the same way as with svg It gets Converted automatically to whatever you need. Of course, it's not vector. So you cannot upscale it but yeah Identity app is free software so If you So i'm tapping here in real real time So if you want to contribute to it, it's a it's licensed under a gpl. So it's a even more hardcore gpl Thank you, thank you So it's written in react.js in the front end and laravel php in the back end by most of the code is well in front end and The idea behind is is not like a fancy. Hey, you can host your brand over here, but it's mostly like to serve as a base for collaboration between designers and developers How you might say this would be possible is because like svg is the keyword here as it's a Something used by both designers and both developers. We were we are planning to do Um Integration with github so we can basically have your github repo and your identity app Project page sync together. So whatever you update on identity app will serve as a front end to be updated into your github repo And ideally also the other way around so designers who are like allergic to git can use identity app while Well people and developers who like mostly cli kind of stuff they can use it right from the github repo And with the update function of svgs you're gonna actually version control svgs So you can basically visualize how uh asset is changing visually for designers And because svg's code Actually developers can also see all the differences and change sets in the github repo So this um This is well the vision. It's not reality. Please don't get too too excited about that but um The vision is for developers and designers to collaborate furthermore together because We have experienced it as a big problem of a gap on how we collaborate And we hope that this will serve as a basis for um further collaboration and empathy and Getting on the same platform because Right now teaching designers how to use git and github Is it's a nice way of way of working together, but git is not Not really the best visual way of working So we hope to to create a bridge It's funny because ura means bridge and albanian the bridge between git and the visual aspect of design work So people can work on that Um, of course, there will be also user management So we're gonna have a project you can give different access to different people So um, you don't need to manage it yourself And also we will have web dev integration I hope towards the end of the year If you are not helping if you are helping it might be sooner, but that depends And so a young is working at next cloud So we hope that with next cloud we can have a web dev integration And so we use your next next cloud folder to have your assets and get synced in real time Uh, yeah, that's basically it. Um, we have different issues on the github repo. We have also a roadmap post it, um, we hope to release the stable version in, uh, may And right now we have Demo online, which you can already use just go to the website. You want to try it out If you are losing your assets disclaimer, it's not your our fault. It's very alpha yet So please don't put anything critical on there And yeah get involved in the in the repo and we hope To see more action going on here and to get this going on Until the end of the year Thank you Questions Yeah, um Okay. Yeah, we do actually um Yes, yes. So, uh, it was a question if we have a business plan, uh, we are doing open source design So we are we are pretty transparent about it. So, uh, this software can be self hosted So you can host it on your own server. We will be offering. Um, well, you can do it already now It's a bit difficult. We want to do it. Uh, we want to make it easier for people to self host it But if you don't want to if you don't care about that and you just wanted to make it work We will be offering a service where you can just subscribe and we will Well, you host it on our servers We'll there will be a free plan for basic things and premium plans for more advanced features custom domains and stuff like that But if you don't want to pay or you are Too careful. Um, you want to care about your own stop on your own server? You can just self host it Yeah That's Yes, that's not specified yet for the servers. We will be using but for the demo servers. It's in frankford right now We are yeah, we didn't want to do it in the u.s Anyone here? That's a good question actually we didn't address that yet. Sorry, um, if there's How will we be adding cmyk support into identity op in the future if it's svg was a question That's a good question actually and we didn't address it yet but I guess in the future once a priority is there we you can just add it manually So you basically have in the uploader your upload the svg and you upload also the cmyk It's kind of problematic if you will do version control and So you probably need to update Every time I'm not that developer. So it's kind of hard for me to wrap my head around that But um, it's definitely not a priority for this year for now Yep Yeah, I was actually actually asking our developer about that and he said like it's too too much of an overkill I don't know about that. Um, I'm a ux designer, but we Theoretically we wanted to offer all all ways of Installing installing identity up on your own server In the beginning people were saying us. Hey, you should make it very difficult for people to install it So they come to you and pay you Uh, but we didn't want to do that. So it should be your choice if you want to install it on your own server Um Docker image will be coming soon sooner or later if you want to help probably sooner Any other question? It's uh, it's utilizing my sql right now And I don't I'm not sure. Um, I don't think so but um Yeah, we we should do that. I mean If we have the manpower Yeah, yeah, yeah Yeah, I know the history of my sql and mario db. So probably yeah mario db might be a better choice We'll be thinking about that. Thanks Yeah, sorry. Um, yeah the question was if some pages were If all pages were public, right? In in the next versions, I think by may we'll have also a feature where you can make Pages private with password protection Or not or just give access to different users So, um, if you are using it internally in your organization just to share stuff within your team members You can do that as well in the future Not right now, but we are planning on that. It's one of the Medium priorities right now Yeah, it's not as far as I know, um, of course you can contribute It's kind The question sorry the question was if the user interface is available in different languages or if like people can contribute to do that Uh, it's kind of hard for us because we are designers who are trying to develop this and we are trying to translate this vision to developers who are helping us doing that and sometimes, um, it's hard To know what's possible and what not But every help is welcome Seriously, um, we are very responsive on the issues if you want to do something Even if it's not in our roadmap priority list blah blah blah You should definitely do that What support was that? Our 3d models the question was if we plan to support 3d models Uh, it was it was in the beginning. It was a great vision We had like to have a marketplace for vr 3d models which you can like put into your web vr a frame thing kind of But um, I think it's a bit too far fetch right now and Yeah, we we probably want to do it if it's get It's it's getting up to speed, but probably not in this year Unless someone is doing really much of work and yeah But we don't have the manpower right now Yeah Sure Okay, I guess uh The time's up. I'll be at the open source design booth also with the other designers Ask me for stickers and I can show you the demo life if you really want to use it yourself So yeah, thank you very much
