About
We are a community of designers and developers pushing more open design processes and improving the user experience and interface design of open source software.
We provide resources, list jobs, put on events, and present talks targeted at developers and designers interested in working and designing in Open Source. This includes Open Source Design rooms at conferences such as FOSDEM and FOSSASIA, lots of jobs referred for big and small open source projects, and collaboration with design universities to mentor students to work on open source software.
Contribute
We are looking for
- Conferences to establish an Open Source Design track (at open source & design conferences)
- Design universities interested in having students work on open source software
- Monetary support for various expenses of the collective, like printing stickers or other promo material
- People to join the collective! :)
