關於工作坊
今年在COSCUP（Conference for Open Source Coders, Users Promoters）將協同國際團隊 Superbloom（以人為本出發幫助設計更具包容性和開放性的國際非營利組織）舉辦Designers in Tech- Open Source Design Workshop工作坊，此工作坊是專門為希望對社會做出正面貢獻的設計師所設計的，我們將邀起您以設計師的姿態，在科技人為主的世界裡舞擺出專屬於你的開源貢獻。
設計，如果共享後會有怎樣的可能性？開源設計為另一種合作模式，結合「共同協作」，讓人們可以自由地存取、使用、修改和分享設計資源來達到共同設計的目的。這次的工作坊試圖透過一個公開、透明、無國界的網路平台Github，讓設計師有機會參與平日以工程師為主的平台，並在上面做出生平第一次的開源設計貢獻，重新定義開源貢獻與設計的可能。我們相信藉由設計師的參與可以優化現有以工程師、開發者為重的開源生態。通過設計師將專案納入更多的可及性和包容性。活動主旨在帶領設計師學習Github平台操作，進而可自行為開源專案進行貢獻。我們致力於賦能設計師開源專案貢獻力，摒除藩籬，打破開源僅為程式開發是唯一有價值貢獻的迷思。
我們將以「設計思考」思維出發並結合Superbloom的「使用者研究」個案來帶領工作坊，進一步在GitHub上挑選出3個專案做出貢獻：去中心化的移動網絡瀏覽器(Ceno Browser)、事實查核(Co-Facts)、通訊軟體(Session)。全程手把手引導教學如何以設計師的身份在GitHub上做出貢獻，提供全面的支援。在工作坊結束後，參與者能更加了解開源設計及在開源專案自行進行協作。
誰應該參加這個工作坊？

Intro
This year, The Conference for Open Source Coders, Users & Promoters (COSCUP) is hosting Designers in Tech- Open Source Design Workshop with Superbloom.( Their mission is to make design in tech more inclusive and open by prioritizing human-centered design )The workshop is developed for designers who want to make an impact and are curious about contributing in the open source world. The workshop will be ideal for designers driven by the belief that their personal involvement can significantly enhance open source projects. By championing accessibility and embracing inclusivity, we aim to highlight the crucial role of design in open source initiatives. Our goal is to empower designers to enter the open source community, break down barriers and dispel the myth that open source is solely for developers and that coding is the only valuable skill.
Who should join this workshop
In this workshop, we will introduce basic concepts of design to people who contribute code to OSS. This will include design exercises and contributions. Level of experience can range from beginner to expert. You are welcome even if you have never made a design related contribution to OSS before. There are no requirements or skills needed to attend this workshop - any level of interest in OSS can participate.
What will the workshop be like?
The focus of the activities in the workshop will center around 3-4 existing OSS projects: Ceno, a mobile browser that is free from censorship, Session is a messenger that focuses on privacy, Co-Facts a chatbot which is fighting misinformation. During the workshop, we will examine existing issues in these projects on GitHub. Alongside user research provided by our cohosts at Superbloom, we will focus on usability and product design challenges that designers are best at.
