What does it take to sustain design in open source? At Sustain Africa, conversations turned to trust, mentorship, and visibility, along with how design often remains invisible in OSS ecosystems. As Victory Brown shares, sustaining design isn’t technical; it’s cultural.

Live at #PenpotFest, Mike Kamminga from Tokens Studio presenting Token Script, kind of a DSL to preprocess design tokens, ready as an embeddable interpreter.
This reminds me of the Sass/Less moment for CSS developers quite some years ago. There's so much future and opportunities to this!
Let's goooooo! So excited for #penpotfest #opensource #opensourcedesign
