 There is far too much 'walking on eggshells" in #OpenSource, mostly because the power lies with the people that are the most easily offended. I've been clobbered for saying the "#UX of opensource isn't great". The advice is always the same: That is great advice, for a dysfunctional relationship. To be clear, I'm NOT saying be dictatorial! I'm saying we can't fix a system that doesn't want to be fixed.  @scottjenson I think, for the vast number of people, the only questions they want answered by technology are: Can it do selfies?Can it do social media? |

@scottjenson on the contrary, i often find more dictatorial maintainership regimes to be similarly less receptive to UX concerns
@scottjenson
You mention maintainers, that's a curious word to use. Because it speaks of static and unchanging babysitting rather than positive and ambitious creation.
In Inkscape our ux design model is to make ux and design skills have the same respect as labor as any programmer. To give developers a way to ask for help and spaced for a ux team to exist and find itself outside of the shadow of code creation.
Adam Belis has done impressive things. Though I admit mostly with patience.

Pretty sure it was @laurenshof that coined the term "FOSS Brutalism Design" in a thread I once read and I am 💯 for this becoming a regularly used hashtag for this sort of stuff...
..so I'ma tag it here...
