Hello Esteban :)
Greetings, and welcome to the Fedora Design mailing list! We're happy to
have you here with us. I very recently joined Fedora design team and have
found the community nothing but helpful and amazing!
I do not have much experience getting people started, but thought will drop
a few links for you to check until someone more experienced helps you start
contributing!
There is interesting work going on in Fedora and Hubs as I have been trying
to keep up. If you are interested, you can check out the mailing list
specifically for Hubs too:
https://lists.fedoraproject.org/admin/lists/hubs-devel@lists
.fedoraproject.org
Fedora has a very unique and interesting way to encourage contributions
called Fedora Badges. They are like the virtual badges you can earn while
contributing. You can learn a little more about them at this page:
https://badges.fedoraproject.org/about
It gives you a chance to mess around with Inkscape and actually get to see
some of your art become Fedora official. There's some starter resources and
style guides I would recommend downloading / reviewing before you pick a
badge. All of Fedora's badges follow design guidelines so they all fit in
with each other and follow a common theme. Check these out:
https://fedorahosted.org/fedora-badges/attachment/wiki/Desig
nResources/FedoraBadgesResources.zip
https://fedorahosted.org/fedora-badges/attachment/wiki/Desig
nResources/styleguide_full.pdf
Once you have a chance to dig through some of these, you can start hunting
out a badge to find and try working on. The easiest way to look for badges
pending artwork is by going here:
https://fedorahosted.org/fedora-badges/report
Justin will be the right person to get you started with this. I am hoping
he will reply to this once he is free.
That's all the links that I could think of now which I bookmarked
initially. I am sure someone will help you out better if you stick around.
You can also hang around on IRC channel.
Thanks for sending your introduction here on the list! Again, welcome to
the Design Team. :)

Just introducing myself. I have a PhD in fine art and love working
with
inkscape. Would love to contribute―something small to start out with!―what
do you think would be a good place for me to start? I love 2d design!
Thanks!
