Open Source Design Contributions for your OSS project
summary
Open Design claims a repeatable way to get designers into OSS: ran design jams with Adobe Designit and Ushahidi (Berlin, Seattle, Taipei, Bangalore), built a volunteer-led project and a design jobs board, and supplies a workshop framework plus a Miro mirror‑board and Jitsi breakouts for activities. Practical tools: heuristic UX reviews, interface inventories, sticker‑sheet UI files, empathy maps, GitHub/GitLab issues and labels. Community size examples appear (a designers Slack channel of ~177). Outputs are reusable and already in active use.
