Call for Participation: Open Source Design Devroom at FOSDEM 2019

Hello all!

Last week I got confirmation that the proposed for our wonderful open source design devroom has been accepted. This will make it 5 years in a row. :fist_right::fist_left:

As with other years we’d like to some discussion here about potential talk topics and speakers.

Does anyone else have topics they’d like to discuss?

Personally, I’d like to try contacting groups, projects, people who work on open source projects, and those who are be under-represented.

A few examples - one year at FOSDEM I came across Passbolt, a really nicely designed webbased collaborative password manager. I was really happy to see how they dealt with complicated security concepts.

From attending the Internet Freedom Festival I met with some designers from Ushahidi who are a non-profit company working with marginalized people. They do a lot of open source work.

I think a few Ushahidi people might be on here?

Any thoughts? @belenbarrospena, @elioqoshi, @jan, @evalica, @dachary, anyone else?
