2 years ago The proposal is due Monday. I prepped copy for the submission, see the Google Doc shared in Slack (don't want to share here since the link has public edit access). I'll keep revising this, and then submit on Monday afternoon.

2 years ago I just submitted a presentation proposal.
Title Supporting open design in bitcoin
Abstract “Design bitcoin for everyone”. That is the slogan of the Bitcoin Design Community, which formed in the middle of 2020. It is an open community with the goal of making bitcoin more intuitive and accessible. Our central community project is the Bitcoin Design Guide, which is full of best practices and references to help both designers and developers create better bitcoin experiences faster. We also work to promote the idea of open design, to bring more designers and other contributors into the space, help open-source projects adopt better design processes, and create more inclusive outcomes. This presentation will provide an overview of community efforts, practical stories of what has worked and what hasn’t, where we are, and what the future might hold.
@johnsBeharry has graciously offered up to tag-team on the presentation again, and Felix (on Slack) offered to help with the presentation slides. I'll share another update here and on Slack once I hear back on whether we got accepted or not.

2 years ago Alright, the schedule is live and we're on for a panel on Open Design and a presentation on Supporting open design in bitcoin.
Both are 30-minute sessions. They asked us to do pre-recordings to avoid potential streaming issues. I'll ask and clarify whether we'll still have Q&A sessions afterwards, which would then define how long the actual panel/presentation will be (e.g. 20 minute panel/presentation then 10 minutes Q&A).

2 years ago Time to start preparations for the two talks, as their recordings need to be uploaded by July 24. I am reaching out to people who have previously shown interest in Slack. If you'd also like to help, reach out (here or on Slack).

2 years ago Alright, COSCUP is a wrap. We had some good questions in the Q&A sessions, and I hope the info we presented was interesting and useful. Big thanks to Julia and Paula for organizing and making this possible. And thanks to Bosch, Conor, Ed, and Stephen for participating in the panel.
Recordings are also uploaded:
@DanGould how was the conference for you?
The Conference for Open Source Coders, Users and Promoters (COSCUP) is an annual conference held by Taiwanese Open Source community. There were 2800 attendees last year, dates are July 30 to 31. They have a track about Open Design and this years focus is "Cultivating the next generation of Open Source Contributors". They reached out and asked if we are interested in presenting. Considering this is about open design collaboration, I think it would be ideal for the proposal and presentation also to be prepared together and in public.

Our first step should probably be to gather ideas for topics we want to discuss. Then we can turn that into a proposal and if we get accepted we can focus on the presentation itself.
