Beyond Sharing: “Open Source Design”
Mushon Zer-Aviv
Towards the discussion I will be leading on this subject at Wordcamp, this Saturday 11:30am I wanted to share with you this diagram I’m proposing for discussing the open source process and how might design be a part of it.
- What is the motivation model that have been perfected in open source coding? (especially in the WordPress community)
- Can it be applied to design too?
- How might it need to change to fit the design process?
- What examples can we draw from within the WordPress community and from outside it?
I would lead a discussion addressing these questions, and to provide my insights from 4 semesters of teaching the Open Source Design class at Parsons’ AAS Graphic Design program, from my experience as a design professional in Shual studio and from the development process on my own open source project, ShiftSpace.
I am very excited towards WordCamp this weekend and I hope to see you in my session and beyond.
