Designers want towork on projects‘for good’.
@erioldoesdesign @opendesignis @ladiesthatuxTOK #ladiesthatux

Open workshops are
missing clear
definition & scope.
@erioldoesdesign @opendesignis @ladiesthatuxTOK #ladiesthatux

Why aren’t there
many design related
contributions to OSS?
@erioldoesdesign @opendesignis @ladiesthatuxTOK #ladiesthatux

Most designers
don’t have aclue about OSS.
@erioldoesdesign @opendesignis @ladiesthatuxTOK #ladiesthatux

OSS isn’t part ofdesign education.
@erioldoesdesign @opendesignis @ladiesthatuxTOK #ladiesthatux

Even if designers
know OSS, Github
can be a barrier.
@erioldoesdesign @opendesignis @ladiesthatuxTOK #ladiesthatux

Explanation of OSS

Lack of version
control insoftware & process
for designers.
@erioldoesdesign @opendesignis @ladiesthatuxTOK #ladiesthatux

understand design as‘logos’ and ‘graphics’.
