This is the full text: Open Source Design Devroom Call for Participation This is the Call for Participation for the FOSDEM 2016 Open Source Design devroom. We invite you to send in your submissions about design work on free, libre and open source projects. FOSDEM (https://fosdem.org) is the Free and Open source Software Developers’ European Meeting, a free and non-commercial two-day weekend event that offers open source contributors a place to meet, share ideas and collaborate. After a successful run in 2015, there will be again a design devroom at FOSDEM 2016: a full day of talks about design work on free, libre and open source projects. The Open Source Design devroom will take place on *Saturday, January 30th*. We mean ‘design’ in the broadest sense: user research, interface and interaction design, information architecture, visual design, typography, illustration, iconography, accessibility … – all in the context of open source projects, which we believe introduces unique challenges. Designers and developers working with designers (or on a design-minded project) are welcome to submit proposals. Possible topics include: - FOSS design tools - Design techniques and deliverables - Design - engineering collaboration approaches - User engagement and design research activities - Project case studies What and how to submit Recording and licensing: The talks in the Open Source Design devroom will be audio and video recorded, and possibly streamed live too. By submitting a proposal you consent to be recorded and agree to license the content of your talk under a Creative Commons (CC-BY) license. Format: 20-minute presentations Submission deadline: 1st December 2015 How to submit All submissions are made in the Pentabarf event planning tool at https://penta.fosdem.org/submission/FOSDEM16/ When submitting your talk in Pentabarf, make sure to select the ‘Open source design devroom’ as the ‘Track’.
