Success stats from OSD community
Moraru, Ecaterina
Community stats for the past year and a short summary of the success storiesfrom Open Source projects that posted design jobs inside our community and gota designer involved. Talk held by @evalica and @eppfel.
 Hi, so this will be the continuation of what we started and it's about again our community and I'm going to show some stats because the topic of the talk was success stories and since this is the first year we start to gather some stats in order to compile to see if we really are successful or if not. So, Jan already presented very quickly what are our main websites and places where we gathered and for example, these are some stats about this track and we had much more submission than last year and if any one of you have organizations that you want to present, episode design just contact us because we want to grow the community and it would be great to have some much more speakers. Then this is the GitHub and there are continuous number of members. We will see next year how much we grow and what are the repositories we have. Our most successful repo is the Job one. In the Job repo you can make requests for designers to help you with your project and the 62 contributors already fixed things on the website or submitted requests for us to help them in some way with interface design or with logos. We use IRC for communication because we want to be able to communicate with open source we're not using Slack and we're trying to use Open and on average there are 60 users. Again, questions there, you can reach us and maybe this will be more synchronous channel to gather and not just once a year at FOSDEM. And Twitter is almost user channel and in the last year we tripled our tweets and we usually tweet about open source and design and we have lots of followers and this is how we keep track. You can use it as Jan said. It's IRC because of the length constraint so you need to know exactly where you can find us. And then Open Collective, it's very new and we try to find ways to gather some money in order to print stickers and this is something that happens for all the open source communities finding a bit hard to reach funding and we have 12 backers. We don't have any expenses currently. It's very cool that if we have some needs we can try to fix them with that. And our website, this is the only negative thing we have for the stats this year and that is the number of articles so we could write more and try to share more about designers that work there and about communities. And the gather of events, we also have monthly meetings so you can also find us its first Tuesday of every month if you're interested. And on the jobs, so for the whole period we received 61 jobs request and they are still active 45. So we managed to close the difference and Felix will present some of the things there. This means that we are not that successful in fixing every request from every open source organization that comes to us but at least we are trying and we have some progress to show you in that direction. So I'm going to let Felix to show you a bit of examples of what we did in the past year. So where should I put it? So, where is the presenter? So we had open source design we love you. If you're an artist, open source coder or even just like managing open source software, we all love you and we love onions and bees. I know it's not an onion but you're going to get it when I come to this slide. So one success story was the tour style guide. I mean it was, it's still ongoing. So simply secure, posted it on a job board that they need someone for the tour style guide and Alio right over there picked it up and he was eager to doing it so he even sent them an email and what happened is that they didn't reply like for some time. They really said like, hey I want to do this project so he pinged them again and when they replied they said it's a perfect match. So what happened is actually that of course he did the standard thing right. He cleaned up the design, he did an awesome job cleaning it out, looking for a nice font phase and really doing awesome work but it's an iterative process so they have three weekly meetings and they found out it's a huge project, a huge community so it's not just about some logo it's about getting all this together and therefore it's nice to see that it's not just another logo but a bigger process involved. And speaking about it, it was a paid job and they even now started up a UX team for tours so actually there is coming design into another open source project which is awesome and Alio now will continue to work with the guys over there. So this is a very nice success I would say. A different kind of success would be the open farm mascot. So open farm is a project also on GitHub and they started about thinking hey we might need a mascot for our project and there were some proposals but yeah it didn't come very far so Simon is also part of our community, he said like I'm gonna post a job on open source design and then this guy found it on our job board Sam Shittedon and he is not part of our community so he just found it on our website and this was his second proposal and it's stuck pun intended. So what happened then is amazing because you can see now in really an iterative and open process over there because they said hey we need some legs right it should be we do need some legs but then they don't look that nice so do other legs come on let's do this and then they said like okay we have to work on the eyes so what kind of eyes do we want to need to use and then still they were thinking like okay what's missing something's missing anyone has an idea what's missing? Huh? Maybe here? So there's no transparency in the wings so they made transparent wings and you see the difference it changed quite a lot but the big thing is the community working on this this was all in one issue this one guy doing most of the work but he really appreciated all these people coming together and helping him doing this great thing and that's OB the final product and we have a new member in our community now like he's now part of open source design and that's great so now these were like two very visual things and I really advise you to check out the Velen Sarksy gift this morning because it's not just about the fancy logo it's not just about the visual stuff like we have so many many experts here that can help your open source projects for example like doing new complete new widgets or software structures there or there was this proposal for re-design of the whole web page of the architecture behind it and UX and visual of course as well so I would say that at open source design our success is really that we connect enthusiasts like with the open source coders and community and that's what it's all about like we are a lively community this was just this Friday when we came together to have a nice fun event yeah and I hope you give us some feedback and I think we have a little bit time of questions so thanks no questions that's what I'm as well I mean session at 1650 where you can present your project if you want I don't know design feedback or if you want to create a job job post on our github yeah if you need any help you can contact find us there or as I said github I receive okay thanks oh that's it depends every developer uses his own tools I would say of course we like the most of the designers here try to do work on open source like so they try to use open source I must admit I don't use open source for all of my work but I try to to especially the stuff where it's about data right so that's why I'm also part of the design team at next cloud so I really believe open source is an important step and there are options that's the thing there are so many open source projects even for visual design or UX design or else for example I think we should do we have a list for tools I think we have a list for tools right yeah so maybe we have to put this out more so people find it you can have a look there yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah I can also be inside the feedback just like pop it over yeah so finding the assets okay so we have a repository and it's called the resources and the question was how to get design this been designed for open source projects actually out there so others can still use it right and I think you know about it right so there's a repo it's called resources and you can put link there or even the sources for for the logos or what assets you have and yes you can use this community to because you specifically mentioned icons there's a website called the non project yeah and it's an icon repository basically it's also very nicely designed and they have all openly licensed icons and yeah it's also actually for any designer here with those icons it's also a platform where you can make money of it because people pay for not attributing you so it's essentially also good source of income for open source designers yeah other questions no thank you so much and we hope we contribute thanks

started and it's about again our community and we have for the stats this year and that is the did in the past year. So where should I put it? re-design of the whole web page of the design our success is really that we connect
