FOSS Backstage (fossbackstage@floss.social)'s status on Tuesday, 06-Feb-2024 03:47:22 JST FOSS Backstage
- Scott Jenson
Open source UX is often criticised. Some of it is justified, but what can we do about it? @scottjenson's talk at this year's FOSS Backstage explores which repos do UX well and what we can learn from them. #fossback https://program.foss-backstage.de/fossback24/talk/LYCLBX/

  There are lots of people that critique the UX of open source. Some of it is warranted but what can we DO about it? This talk will discuss which repos do UX well and what we can all learn from them.

  Why UX and FOSS clash and what we can do about it FOSS Backstage 2024
  
  This talk focusses on a central difference between UX designers and Open Source developers: The ideas of what a "good" user is and one should relate to them. Given their different cultures and histories, both have come to different conclusions: The ideal user for open source projects is a programmer themselves and thus similar to the people already working on the software – whereas for UX designers, the users are seen as unlike designers nor programmers and understanding them and transporting that understanding in the project is seen as a major and difficult task. Based on these differences, the suggestion is not to educate one profession to act like the other. Instead, I look at existing modes of cross-professional collaboration assuming that the strenght of working together are also the very different skills and assumptions that designers and developers bring to the project.
