While many open-source projects are initiated by engineers who aim to create accessible and free software, they often overlook usability and accessibility. In our opinion, every open-source project needs designers to ensure that the end product is user-friendly and accessible to everyone. In this session, we will draw on experiences from a design contributor who has worked with the g0v Taiwan community on open-source projects. Showing feasible ways for designers (or even not-designers) to contribute their design to open-source community.
