We invite you to give a talk about contributing design to open source projects!

“Design” can mean anything including typography, graphic design, interaction design, user experience, human-computer interaction, accessibility, information architecture, content strategy, service design, user research, design research and more. You don’t have to be an expert in the field – you could have been involved in a project for as little as a year or as long as a decade. As long as you have been involved with design in any respect in an open source project, we’re interested to hear what you think!

Here are some topics that may inspire your talk:

  • Your experiences contributing to design in an open source project
  • How you use FLOSS tools to design
  • An open source project which is an example of great design
  • Your design process, research methods, and go-to resources while working with open source projects
  • Your ideas on fostering diversity and inclusion in design and open source
  • Anything else related to design and FLOSS!

Hi, @Erioldoesdesign. Thanks so much for the update!

I’m Aishat (preferred Maya), the lead design maintainer with the AsyncAPI Initiative, an open-source community. I also serve on our Code of Conduct and Technical Steering Committees.

I’m looking forward to submitting a talk for the conference! I wanted to check if there will be any travel sponsorship for the main speakers and co-speakers. I’m thinking about teaming up with another design lead from the open-source space to present on topics like design in product development or usability testing and measurement.

Thanks again for your help! You can find me here on LinkedIn (https://www.linkedin.com/in/aishatmuibudeen) or X (x.com)
