interaction design, user experience, human-computer interaction,
accessibility, information architecture, content strategy, service
design, user research, design research and more. You don’t have to be an

interested to hear what you think!</p>
<p>Here are some topics that may inspire your talk:</p>
<ul><li>
<p>Your experiences contributing to design in an open source project</p>
</li><li>
<p>How you use FLOSS tools to design</p>
</li><li>
<p>An open source project which is an example of great design</p>
</li><li>
<p>Your design process, research methods, and go-to resources while working with open source projects</p>
</li><li>
