FOSS Backstage (4-6th of March 2024) had its own design track/day. You can watch all talks at the [Youtube playlist of the track](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qtdLcElTauk&list=PLq-odUc2x7i8P3s8rUBURj0fXwKsxQb9k).

There were also several UX talks at the main event:

- Scott on [Size matters: Why some projects can’t do UX well](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZLmXlhJMQmM)
- Katie on [A UX Toolbox for Usability, Accessibility, and Security](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rLuUmWw-Xbk)
- Jan (me) on [Why UX and FOSS clash and what we can do about it](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1iB4480I9w8)
- Eriol Fox & Nimisha Vijay on [The secret lives of designers in OSS](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RAQgzLbra0A&t)

For those that were there, I’d appreciate any comments on the talks, what did you like, what could have been improved? This was a ‘first prototype’ of the design day and I’d like us to discuss ways we could have improved it.
