It's been great event, thank everyone who showed up and kudos @victoria-bondarchuk and @Xaviju for effort kick-starting it Madrid!

Few things that we discussed below.

What can we do together?

bring more designers
bring more projects
teach about open source

Open questions rose though the discussion:

how to recruit more designers? More then half of the people were on the engineering/business side.
how design process works in your organization?
open surce project that need designers?
teach opensource? (git? sketch analog+github?)
bring some projects that we like, that we could work on (all stages) as a group
is there list of local opensource projects that might need help? OSWeekend
build a reference: list of open-source alternatives for designer tools?? (Xavi: alt tools for illustrations and animation, tutorials and workflows)
existing groups in Mardid: ladies UX, UXacademy, interaction design foundation
a page: why a designer want to contribute or be using to OSS?
are there a successful "cases" of UX? as a way to introduce ppl. Example of companies (@jancborchardt knows )

This is by no means a complete list, please, chime in an add what you think is missing.

And let's decide together what shall we do for our next event! Can discuss here, or on OSD discourse

@bzz @m1guelpf let’s guide the discussion to our Discourse into the local Madrid meetup thread: https://discourse.opensourcedesign.net/t/madrid-spain/164 :)

@bzz can you post the results there too and then close this thread? We should keep all the info in one place, and we should push our forum for discussion, since we use Github for working on specific parts of the website. :)
