We plan to do a one day design workshop/hackathon that will be from 6 hours and focus on how non-code contributions, especially designers can participate in OSS projects more clearly and successfully. As an org that is committed to improving civic tech and human rights tech, the workshop examples will use projects like misinformation reporting, private messaging and private browsers as examples to work on. There will be content for potential attendees to read and understand ahead of the workshop and if some people want to prepare ahead of the workshop they can.
As non-coders, approaching an OSS project and wanting to contribute there can be barriers to starting. Am I welcome? How do I understand the project more? How do I get started? we'll be ensuring that a contribution is made at the end of the workshop to the projects open repos in relation to existing real issues.
