Hi all, The Call for Proposals for the Open Source Design devroom at FOSDEM'22 has been announced: https://opensourcedesign.net/2021/12/04/fosdem-cfp-2022 Submission deadline is December 23rd 2021. Here is the full text of the CFP: The Open Source Design devroom showcases design work happening within free and open source projects, because yes, there is design alive in FOSS. We mean “design” in a broad sense, and we include within that term typography, graphic design, interaction design, user experience, human-computer interaction, accessibility, information architecture, content strategy, service design, design research and . We hope to see you there. We have 1 full day of the conference on Saturday the 5th of February. The event will be online and all presentations will be pre-recorded, but you are required to be online and present during your presentation and for 5-10 minutes after to answer any questions the audience watching your talk may have. To submit your talk you will need to create a pentabarf account (if you do not already have one) and make the submission through the FOSDEM pentabarf system <https://penta.fosdem.org/submission/>. Pentabarf is the official name of the FOSDEM talk submission and management system (see beginner’s guide <https://medium.com/@maartjeme/beginners-guide-to-pentabarf-78808a1ce5bf>).
