@ConorCartenio This is cool! I'll share with the wider Open Source Design core team and I'd recommend posting this on our forum for thoughts/feedback from the community of Open Source Designers discourse.opensourcedesign.net

Reimaging a Hero section for the @opensrcdesign website. What do you guys think? Anything you would change?

@tyemartins @GitHubEducation @GitHubCommunity @oscafrica @OpenSourceOrg @uizardIO TY for the shout out :)

Excited about the enormous opportunities/resources available to them in the tech/digital space, introducing them to @GitHubEducation @GitHubCommunity @opensrcdesign @oscafrica @OpenSourceOrg @uizardIO as they continue in their development.

My superstars 🚀 watch out for them. Last year's cohort #CqreDigitalAcademy Some graduated last Friday after #gdsconf We are building our tech community, just on the outskirts of Abuja. #tech4good #digitalskills #AbujaTwitterCommunity #AbujaTech

@jcubic @TylerNickerson Thanks for the recommendation @jcubic 😄 we have lots of UI/Visual designers that offer their skills as OSS contributions but also lots of folks that offer UX research, Usability testing, Accessibility - lots of other skills in the realm of design is on offer should you need it.

You should check @opensrcdesign I never use it for my project, but it seems cool. A lot of projects don't know they can get help like this. Often their website look crappy because they are created by developers, not designers. If you see a project like this, you can ask if they need help.

Alright, hear me out: what if we marketed open-source projects like we do SaaS products?

@opensrcdesign your job ads work too well! we are now getting too many responses. can you take it down please? see discourse.opensourcedesign.net/t/removing-job… - thank you :-)

@Dieter_be Hey there, haha glad you're getting some replies 😄 If you head over to your job post on github: github.com/opensourcedesi… you can edit the markdown text and submit a PR to change 'searching' to 'closed' or 'solved'. If you have trouble @EriolDoesDesign can do this for you!

Reminder we have our monthly community call on 3rd April 7pm CET until 8pm CET in the online jitsi room meet.jit.si/opensourcedesi… All are welcome :) come along and chat or bring a topic you wanna talk about - Notes are hosted on our discourse forum. discourse.opensourcedesign.net/t/monthly-open…

We hope to work on supporting overseas speakers for the open source design dev room in future years - if you'd like to help us organise and support that then please come along to our monthly community calls opensourcedesign.net/events/monthly…
