Hi all! Open Source Design has a devroom at FOSDEM 2024 🎉

FOSDEM is a free and non-commercial two-day weekend event that offers all open source contributors a place to meet, share ideas, learn and collaborate. After 9 years of representing design in FLOSS projects, we are gearing up for the next edition of of the Open Source Design devroom at FOSDEM, taking place at the Université Libre Brussels on 3rd February 2024, a Saturday.

Inkscape has been an important part of the Open Source Design community since its beginnings, and we invite all members of the Inkscape community to submit a talk about contributing design to open source projects!

Here are some topics that may inspire your talk:

• Your experiences contributing to design in an open source project like Inkscape

• How you use FLOSS tools to design

• An open source project which is an example of great design

• 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!

This year, all talks at the Open Source Design devroom will be in-person. You will have the stage for 25 minutes in total, including questions from the audience.

To submit a talk, go to FOSDEM’s CfP tool and click “Submit a proposal”. Then all you have to do select “Open Source Design” as the track and fill out the details of your talk according to the instructions.

Talk proposals must be submitted on or before 8 December 2023.

Find out more at the Open Source Design website and if you have any questions, reach out to us on the Open Source Design forum.

We are looking forward to seeing you at FOSDEM 2024!
