Hello, my name is Jonas Sousa, I’m from Fortaleza-Ceará in the Northeast of Brazil.
I’ve been working with interface design (and a little front-end) for some time now and I’m very interested in cooperatives, that’s how I discovered Open Design and every day I’m more interested in learning and being able to participate.

Heyall, Thanks to @jan for the invitation to join Open Source Design’s Discourse.
My name’s Jules aka @lotusleafstyle & I’m an open-source enthusiast. I have a background in communications, community building, marketing, pr & event management as an entrepreneur w/ startups, not-for-profits & other co’s. My older brother was an oss dev 20+ yrs ago & I’m very passionate about supporting open-source. I’d like to contribute to this community, so pls don’t hesitate to dm me here or on Twitter @lotusleafstyle if I can help in any way 
I’ve just started building a new startup, Openess.dev whereby we want to help OSS devs do more of what they love.
I’m a mom of two & love my kiddos! I also love to travel, snowboard, dance, and listen to podcasts, so much so that I recently created my own podcast in an effort to learn more deeply about open-source. I’m based in Toronto, Canada, and part-time (pre-Covid) in Copenhagen, Denmark.

I’m Nicolas Vérité, or Nÿco
I live in Paris, France.
I run https://twitter.com/ExperienceHack3 “Experience Hacking”, or how to do more design (dive, learn, adopt) from an opensource developer perspective
I am a Product Owner/Manager. To the often-asked question: “What’s Product Management”, I often answer by “PM = Build + Marketing + Sales” (of course, in “Build”, there is Dev, design ops…).
I can contribute some PM tactics and best practices to opensource projects.
opensourcedesign rocks, I’ve met you guys many times, mostly at FOSDEM, I am here to share and have fun!

I am based in Berlin and right now organizing the Innovation Sprint 2021 at eLife, an opportunity for projects to flourish and a 2-day marathon of talents.
It’s really nice to be here!
