This is a placeholder topic… it was inspired by the article by Anushka Jain:
Designing in the Open
Graphic Design is where OSS ends for designers today…
When I got involved with some open-source communities last year and asked about their design teams, all I could gather from their documentation mostly revolved around graphic design, which is neither my forte nor the field I want to pursue.
Eventually, my wish to contribute faded out because I couldn’t find the correct role for me in this open-source world.
And it relates to the challenge of bridging The Gap between Designers and Free Software Developers.
