Expectations from Open Source Designers
summary
Designers struggle to find collaborative projects so an Open Source Design job board was created to list usable tasks; many issue descriptions are vague and projects expect logos or PNGs while interface work needs user research and follow‑through. Projects insist on provide deliverables in open formats because Sketch files blocked one PR for months. Communication happens on IRC, timelines for approval range from 72 hours to a year, and one homepage redesign PR sat unmerged for about a year, which kills contributor momentum.
