So, some great conversations at #fossback26 design. And some that really frustrated me. During the "how to bridge the gap between "ultra-nerdy" devs and designers" barcamp, someone said "we have to decide who to disappoint when making design decision", and someone else said "spoiler: it's the power users".

If our attitude towards #uxdesign is "fuck the power users", we'll never have good UX in open source.

@rstockm You and the „+1 concept“ were in fact just mentioned by @andypiper in his talk on „Building the Open Alternative: DPGs for Digital Sovereignty“.

Come find me at #fossback26 in Berlin next week, and let's chat about all things Open Source or anything else - I'll be the weird tall bald guy with the mask :)
