Snebu (http://www.snebu.com, https://github.com/derekp/snebu), the Simple Network Backup Utility, is a snapshot-style agentless backup system for anything that supports GNU Find and Tar. It supports local and remote backups, compression, and maintains a backup catalog in a database (sqlite). It will eventually support encryption, cloud and tape storage, and direct backup of KVM virtual machines.

I was thinking of having a logo representing a gear shift shown in reverse (backup = reverse). But lately I was more thinking of a logo in the style of Dr. Seuss character.

Open Notebook is an application for helping math teachers create content for their classes. It is designed to be extremely easy for non-technical users to pick up in just a few minutes. The application allows creating documents for print, or in the case of classrooms with students that have computers accessible at home, the application doubles as an interactive environment for students to complete their work for digital submission.

gngr[1] is a browser that champions privacy. It is a complete written-from-scratch project, and not just a wrapper around existing layout engines.

Our current logo and website design, if you can call it that, is a developer created, few days effort. We would be very happy with some professional design help.

Notes:

* gngr is short for ginger, the spice.

* The theme would be "spicy, but not shiny".

Off-topic (sorta): Is there any easy way to find out about this kind of open source design offers? I think I might be interested in trying some and I didn't even know all these existed. How would I find out about more of them in the future?

Opensource project pages and most Open Source centric / leaning blogs are good sources for info on these sorts of things.

Oh cool idea! GatsbyJS definitely needs one. All we've got right now is this crappy thing I throw together in Inkscape :-) https://twitter.com/gatsbyjs

Pitch: "Gatsby is a React.js static site generator. It transforms plain text into dynamic blogs and websites using the latest web technologies."

I work on Tasks, a GPLv3 licensed to-do list for Android. It is based on the source code of a popular app that got bought out and shut down a few years ago.

I have no design chops and the app doesn't really have any branding.
