Open source softwares built for social impact or research & sciences are an excellent representation of a WIP world. Especially from a design lens where contributions and iterations are complex. OS project teams may not always have the funds or the clarity to have design as a part of their toolkit, yet, designers continue to push the envelope, take responsibility to demonstrate and add value. In this talk, we hope to help a lot more designers do it better. Powerful design tools make it possible to support OS more easily than it was possible earlier. This talk will also throw light to the much needed conversation on designing in Open source which needs a wider audience.
