Manifesto |
/manifesto/ |
We connect open source workflows with human-centered design. We value usability, empowerment, sustainability, collaboration and transparency.
We are inclusive to newcomers and act with humility. We are open to constructive criticism, discourse and feedback. We have a diverse representation of people in our projects and communities.
Design is a team effort and multiple perspectives provide a richer result. Every work builds upon prior information and intellectual work. We creatively copy and remix with attribution and gratitude.
Our responsibility is to make products usable for a diverse audience. Our work is universally accessible.
Design is a continuous part of a larger development process. It is informed by research and testing, and starts at the very beginning of a product.
We design with respect and ethics in mind. People’s privacy and time is honored. Our design processes and tools compliment these values.
We share knowledge and teach skills. We help designers get involved in open source, and help open source developers make their products better through good design.
We encourage creators respecting others and their own work. We believe respectful citations and references are cornerstone for any kind of collaborative work.
