Open Source Design: A Call to Arms
summary
Story argues open design needs concrete changes not slogans and shows working examples: a gulp starter environment with Sass autoprefixer and browser-sync that gets designers using GitHub despite npm install errors; GitHub labels like design needed and checkboxes that guide contributions; four pillars—communication accessibility respect empathy—codified into contribution docs and feedback rules; an LED Bay Lights project that crowdfunds a 10 year extension; celebrate little wins to onboard designers.
