FOSS Backstage Design is the place to meet designers, UX-experts, OpenSource enthusiasts, product managers and people generally interested in UX, accessible design and usability.
Joining #FOSSDesign is your opportunity to learn about design & UX, network with the FOSS Design community and improve your skills!
But you don’t have to just take our word for it – here’s what our experts have to say about the event:Â

UX-Strategy & Design
A crucial step toward making open source software accessible to everyone.
We need software that treats us as people, not products. Open source software has the potential to liberate hundreds of millions globally from data mining and surveillance, while protecting their data sovereignty.
This is why I’m passionate about open source, and why I’m thrilled to join FOSS Backstage Design in Berlin. FOSS Backstage is the first open source conference I know of with a day dedicated to UX topics – a crucial step toward making open source software accessible to everyone.

FOSS Backstages' Design day gives an opportunity to this growing aspect of excellence in OSS and will be pivotal in solidifying the design in OSS community.
Design and how designers can be supported and sustained in Open Source is a topic that is growing in interest year on year. This is both from the perspective of open source software and designers.
OSS is exploring what it means to be more user centred, improve usability and understand how to stand beside proprietary tools with a broad user based that extends beyond OSS fans.
Designers are exploring ways to offer and improve their skills on real-life projects that have impact and that they believe as they grow their careers.
FOSS Backstages’ Design day gives an opportunity to this growing aspect of excellence in OSS and will be pivotal in solidifying the design in OSS community.
The single track event features 13 sessions from 15 international speakers, including two exciting workshops.
We will be discussing:
design methods,
user research,
how to incorporate Design into product development,
writing good documentation,
testing and measuring usability,
and even how to design for XR leveraging the power of OSS tools.
In Addition our amazing line-up of speakers and sessions there will be plenty of space and opportunity to exchange ideas, discuss challenges and meet other people who care deeply about designing for great user experience in free and open source software.
