Can designers contribute to Open Source? How? In our latest Open Chat with Penpot episode, we explored how designers can make meaningful contributions to open-source projects with researchers Nimisha Vijay (user experience designer at Nextcloud) and Eriol Fox (open source product manager at Superbloom, as well as a PhD researcher at Newcastle University). Through a two-way interview format, we discussed findings from their research "The Secret Life of Open Source Designers" such as: the unequal power dynamics between designers and developers within open source communities; the often slow pace of the design process; the isolation designers may experience due to insufficient feedback; and the challenge of unclear project priorities.
