If you are a developer working with designers in open source projects:
What did you learn about design from them and what would you like designers would know about development?
If you are a designer in open source: What do you wish you learned earlier about being a designer in open source? //jd
- discuss about opensource design at https://discourse.opensourcedesign.net/
- post open source design related jobs at https://opensourcedesign.net/jobs/
- join our community calls https://opensourcedesign.net/events/monthly-online-meeting/

3rd round:
1) fdroid testing: Was done!
2) Balancing newcomers and powerusers
- What are the effects of breaking workflows
- is it about giving up control?
- Are core values are followed?
3) Resources on opensourcedesign.net
- Highlighting projects that care for design(ers)
- What exactly do you want to work on?
- https://contribute.design/ and design.md
4) Being early adopters
- It might be rough at the beginning but what is done enables others to build upon
@fossdesign second round barcamp:
Onboarding design newcomers:
- by manual and/or by shift in community mindset?
- sharing knowledge of context is hard
- have relevant, non-essential tasks to start with
Low Telemetry research:
- review tutorials, social media etc.
- qualitative research
- which data would actually be needed which not?
community decision making
- communication about design
- vote by community on community suggestions
- balance specialization vs. involvement by everyone
Some highlights from the first round of #barcamp sessions at @fossdesign:
1) dealing with AI contributions:
- AI removes frictions from some tasks (and not from others)
- Think "Community over Code"
2) "Design team of one"
- Use an existing interface guideline.
- Remove distinction between bugs and features
- Grow your documentation based on peer's questions
3) Communicate with devs
- Demonstrate design craft
- Know enough about code to judge if an idea is possible
- Make allies among devs

This talk had a lot of great examples for mockups in tools like @excalidraw and @penpot
