In the Berlin opensourcedesign meetup 4/17 we talked about establishing small experiments to find out how open source design and open source can be better integrated.

An experiment should have an…

  • outcome in terms of a change/intervention,
  • an outcome in terms of learning and
  • should be doable in a restricted timeframe.

(Which makes this a lot like action research )

Please add your ideas (and user names of people who participated in the meetup but whose names I don’t know)

Possible Experiments:

  • How does our organization appear to designers who are not in open source projects? (Goal: Make onboarding for non-dev-people easier)
    • Could be a combined "usablity test" starting with our website focused on emotions, motivations, skills
    • ~5 participants/interviews, following collaborative qualitative analysis
  • Acquire descriptions of worst/best memories of FOSS developers in relation to usability/UX in their projects (Goal: gather knowledge for working better with devs and dev driven projects)
    • Could be spread via mailinglists
    • Also needs qualitative analysis.
