Hello everyone. I’m Eugene. I am a UI/UX designer and I’m really happy to be among awesome designers as yourselves. I hope I’m welcome.
I have been hearing of Open Source Design for a little while now and I will love to know what it is all about and how I can get involved in open source design

Hi Eugene!
You are most welcome. Thanks for joining. I’m curious what have you heard about open source? A good way to start might be by having a look at our jobs board - there are paid and gratis jobs there for designers who want to contribute to open source projects.
https://opensourcedesign.net/jobs
Do you have any particular interests? There’s probably a project somewhere. 
Also, if you are near Belguim, you might be interested in attending FOSDEM a free open source conference in February 1+2 next year. Open Source Design has a conference track all about design and open source.

I hope that helps. Looking forward to hearing from you.

Thanks for having me. As regards my interests, I love creating mobile UI designs but haven’t really gotten into the UX part of design and I would love delve into it and also I would like to contribute OSD by helping create mobile and web experiences where I can

Hi everyone!
I have recently graduated with a Computer Science degree but got passionate about design during my college days. Right now I spend most of my time learning UX and designing things. I always wanted to contribute to open source community since I learnt programming but never got the chance. I hope now that my design skills could be of some use to expand well designed open source products.
I am looking forward to learn and contribute from this community as much as I can.

Hey all 
My name’s Javi and I’m from Madrid although I currently live in Berlin. I’ve been working full-time on open source for over half a year since I joined a team that’s building tools for decentralized organizations on the Ethereum blockchain. I’m very excited about the role that progressively community-controlled governance plays in securing successful and long living organizations.
I’ve recently transitioned into a role where I’ve began to take larger responsibilities around coordinating sprints and product specifications with the rest of the team, but I still put a lot of thought and care into every pixel that goes on our interface designs and design system components
I want to help open source projects compete with the design quality standards of proprietary software so that more people feel comfortable running open source software; exploring how to do so led me here! I’m available for a few hours per week and happy to explore new opportunities. I have specific experience in the areas of project management, fintech, voting software and decentralized apps, but I am open to exploring new fields as well.
Look forward to engaging more in this community!

Hi everyone, I’m David a designer with a background in graphics, type, and “interaction”. I spent a while working in research at the Royal College of Art, and at Microsoft Research in the UK. I started working full time on CryptPad in November, joining an existing team at XWiki in Paris (I work remotely from London though). CryptPad is a collaborative office suite that is open source and encrypted. My role involves improving user experience, and generally giving some design TLC to a product that has received none so far. I’m excited to join this community to discuss design and open source with you all. In addition to designing for open source projects, I’m particularly interested in how we design with open source tools.

Hi, my name is Diego Barreiro, and I’m currently an undergrad CS student from 
I joined the community a few months ago already, and I was not very active, but I recently re-discovered it thanks to a funny coincidence 
I went to FOSDEM 2020 with the MIT App Inventor team, and what a surprise for me that our stand was right next to Open Source Design one on Sunday 
I also have my own company (kodular.io/creator)
I look forward to seeing how I can contribute to this community!
