I run a UI design studio that works with tech startups, but occasionally helps OSS projects out. We currentlu have a spot open to help out an open source project with their UI design for the coming month. Feel free to post your project or contact us directly.

Check out http://fairpixels.pro for work and contact details. (or my bio for an email address)

We're really looking for a new frontend and dashboard to make Cachet easier to use :)

Not my project, but I know that the guys at https://riot.im would love any help or feedback they might be able to get on UI/UX. I use the project daily on several different devices so I'm happy to give them a shout here.

You guys just doing UI mockups, or could you create a UI that represents a simple transaction? (For instance, using REST, get a list of things. Person picks one. Using REST call something else. End of functionality)

http://www.overseer.tv this is my show tracking app, could definitely use some UI/UX love. I came up with everything by wireframing on a piece of paper and then trying my best.

https://github.com/smtheard/ShowTracker is where the code lives.

KDE.

Seriously. KDE has a good UI team but the number of projects and applications is huge and all the designers are volunteers.

There's Plasma Desktop and Plasma Mobile and a ton of applications.

And the visibility that your work will get by helping out there is more than most projects.

- Git's default graphical user interface, "git gui". It's awful. There's no sense of what's important and what's safe. It's just the git command line hammered into a Tk-type interface.

Excellent suggestion and high visibility, but probably not a small task.
