I’m Max, an MA User Experience Design student at Regent’s University London, currently researching UX onboarding for open-source communities in partnership with Canonical.

If you design, contribute to, or work with open source projects, I’d really appreciate a few minutes of your time to fill out a short questionnaire on your experience:

> Have you ever encountered an obstacle when attempting to contribute to open source as a designer? I’m researching exactly that.
> 
> As part of my MA in UX Design at Regent's University London, I'm working with Canonical (makers of Ubuntu) to understand...

I’m also looking to conduct 4 short interviews (around 20–30 minutes, via Microsoft Teams) with people who’ve been through the onboarding process as a designer or contributor in an open source community. If you’d be open to chatting, please comment below or send me a DM and I’ll get in touch to schedule a time.

Thanks so much for your help it’s a big support to my research!

Best regards,

Max
