Open-source is ubiquitous in software development, but how about designing physical products? Our #CSCW2024 talk explored open-source collaboration in a hardware context, finding unique challenges and best practices. If you’re interested in design collaboration, let’s chat!

@a_olechowski Your team will also be able to view and track estimated levels of shared understanding over time. The analysis is completed entirely on the secure cloud-based application--researchers will only access anonymized, aggregated calculations, and will never see your raw Slack messages
