FOSDEM is the Free and Open source Software Developers’ European
Meeting, 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 successful runs in 2015, 2016, 2017 and 2018, there will be a
design devroom at FOSDEM 2019!

The Open Source Design devroom will take place on Saturday, February
2nd, in the Solbosch campus of the Université Libre Brussels. The exact
room will be confirmed in the coming months.

This will be a full day of talks about design work on free, libre and
open source projects.

We invite you to send in your submissions about design work on free,
libre and open source projects.

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
    - Unique challenges that open source brings
    - Design techniques and deliverables
    - Design/engineering collaboration approaches
    - User engagement and design research activities
    - Project case studies

In the past we’ve had talks about getting designers involved in open
source, accessibility in open source, application design and
development, beyond logos, architectural font digitisation and design
and lots more.

If you’re interested in seeing all previous talks, have a look at the
schedule, and videos for 2018, 2017, 2016 and 2015.

The talks in the Open Source Design devroom will be audio and video
