Open Topics:
Hacktoberfest
- Merge requests not being valuable in exchange for schwag
- Does hacktoberfest work for open source design? talk topic!
- Not just a hacktoberfest problem a general design problem.
- Linux Foundation is struggling with the same concept, just not in 1 month but overall
- How can design work outside of hacktoberfest too
- How big is the project? how aligned is the “new” design? (ie context of contribution also matters)
- We talked about how Eriol had onboarded designers in OFN
- Using a project board: Welcome New Designers! · GitHub
- And by doing bookable onboarding calls for potential contributors and tasking them with learning before they work on an active issue.
- Here is a video Eriol did about this process: Onboarding designers into OSS mini talk - YouTube
- Opening up research and insights into design thinking can help designers contribute more legitimate and informed design work rather than design work not informed by the realities of. the project. Eriol shared an example of when this happened in OFN.
