Hi all,
I just wanted to let you know that there will be a devroom about software interface design at FOSDEM this year. People involved with design for Drupal might be interested in sending a proposal. It would great to have you there.
This is the full CfP:
This is the Call for Participation for the FOSDEM 2015 Open Source Design devroom. We invite you to send in your submissions about design work on free, libre and open source projects.
FOSDEM is the Free and Open source Software Developers' European Meeting, a free and non-commercial two-day weekend event that offers open source contributors a place to meet, share ideas and collaborate.
For the first time this year, there will be a design devroom at FOSDEM: a full day of talks around design work on free, libre and open source projects. The Open Source Design devroom will take place on Sunday, February 1st.
We mean ‘design’ in the broadest sense, from user research, to interface and interaction design, typography, and usability testing - all in the context of open source projects, which we believe introduces unique challenges. Designers, and developers working with designers are welcome to submit proposals.
What and how to submit =====================
RECORDING AND LICENSING:
It is quite likely that the talks in the Open Source Design devroom will be audio and video recorded. By submitting a proposal you consent to be recorded and agree to license the content of your talk under a Creative Commons Attribution (CC BY) license.
