What a community! 💛

Looking through the photos from #FOSSDesign, it’s inspiring to see so many people working together toward making Open Source Software more accessible, user-centered, and welcoming beyond the OSS community.

We’re truly grateful for such a successful conference day.

Take a moment to browse the photos, find yourself, and feel free to share them, just be sure to credit our dear photographer, Jan Michalko: https://www.flickr.com/photos/newthinking_de/albums/72177720332625127/

Dalai Felinto and @pablovazquez share how they use mockups and prototyping with open source tools to help the design process at @Blender. The session goes over real examples of projects designed – from concepts on whiteboards, the initial low-file mockups all the way to high fidelity mockups and interactive prototypes.

Join us for this talk and much more on March 18! Few tickets left for #FOSSDesign in Berlin: https://26.foss-backstage.design/tickets/

Design systems evolved the process by which UI graphics are made, full with automation and deep integration. However, Open Source communities were left out of this bandwagon.

Fortunately, a new wave of design system applications has made an appearance with a bold strategy and Open Source at its core. Andy Betts (@kde) talks about this journey at #FOSSDesign on March 18 in Berlin.
