- Your design process, research methods, and go-to resources while working with open source projects - Your ideas on fostering diversity and inclusion in design and open source - Anything else related to design and FLOSS!

...user research, design research and more. You don’t have to be an expert in the field – you could have been involved in a project for as little as a year or as long as a decade.

For those of you interested and watching for Open Source Design FOSDEM 2026 news. We will of course be applying for a devroom and a stand again in 2026. We will need volunteer for sure if we are successful! :)

We have a maintainer that been in contact with the FOSDEM organising team via invitation for a few months advocating for more design representation in the main track and making sure that design is heard at the organisation level.

Very much recommend designers apply to speak at this OSS conference. A fantastically welcoming conference in Berlin where you'll meet very supportive OSS folks.

Our monthly community call is today Wednesday 6th of May at 5pm UTC time. opensourcedesign.net/events/month... We meet in a voice/video call using Jitsi at meet.jit.si/opensourcedesign see you there!

In Feb 2025 the opensourcedesign.net team applied for a devroom to host speakers on design in OSS topics and we succeeded in welcoming 8 fantastic speakers to Brussels in Feb 2025 See the talks on the FOSDEM hosted video's here: fosdem.org/2025/schedul...

"The open source design devroom is one of the most accessible devrooms in terms of topic. I might not understand design in the same way as designers but I can always understand and appreciate the topics in the room"

Of course we did have some other comments like wanting better accessibility options for those with hearing and sight impairments. We're looking into what we might be able to do ahead of FOSDEM 2026 to be more inclusive. #opensource #oss #opensourcedesign #designers #foss #usercentereddesign #design
