Open design

From this video: http://opendesign.foundation/articles/designers-can-open-source-session-video/

How can designers be more open source:

Share you process. (failed attempts, inspiration,…)

Share your source files

Use code as a design tool

Collaborate

Donate (donate unused work)

Contribute

Make “credit” the core reward for contributing.

Roadblocks:

Tooling (invent the tools)

File formats (open file formats like svg, html/css as design tools)
