Setting up your OSS for design contributions.

Open design is… A way for designers who want to tackle big societal problems by contributing to humanitarian open source software (OSS). But when it comes to OSS, designers often don’t know what they can do to contribute and how to do it. Open Design created a set of methods, tools, examples and workshop frameworks and tested these at 4 events located in Berlin, Seattle, Bangalore and Taipei. These were all created in the open to encourage designers to learn, iterate, adapt and modify to better understand the principles of OSS participation. We used Ushahidi’s Crisis Communication OSS tool TenFour to test how these worked and to benefit from design OSS contributions. https://github.com/Erioldoesdesign/opendesign @opendesignis @erioldoesdesign https://www.tenfour.org/
