Our Open Source Design collective

and group photo


For everyone who doesn’t know what exactly we do, this is a short intro to our collective: We work to raise the profile of good design in open source software, and connect developers & designers to make it happen.

We run an Open Source Design community forum, organize design tracks at well-known events like FOSDEM (hello πŸ™‹), FOSSASIA and OpenTechSummit, have a job board to get designers involved, provide open design resources to developers & designers, and more.

We will also take our GROUP PHOTO during this session! 😊

A few of our activities from last year include:

πŸ‘©β€πŸ’» Lots and lots of posts on our Open Source Design job board! https://opensourcedesign.net/jobs/ 2️⃣ Organization of our second Open Source Design Summit in Tirana! https://opencollective.com/opensourcedesign/events/open-source-design-summit-2018-371ev πŸ’Έ Sponsored by Sticker Mule, Mozilla & phpList and supported by Open Technology Fund, Ura Design, Red Hat & Nextcloud πŸ“‘ More activity on our Discourse forum! https://discourse.opensourcedesign.net
