We're so happy to annouce that we have an open source design devroom and we're now accepting calls for talks via the FOSDEM pretalx system.

Open Source Design has been part of FOSDEM for over a decade now, making sure designers who work with, or contribute to free, libre and open source software (FLOSS) a platform to share their ideas.

Call for participation details and link here:

“Open source doesn’t just belong to developers: it belongs to anyone willing to make it stronger, safer, and more usable.”

At #OSSummitEU, Eriol Fox reflects on seeing open source through a designer’s eyes and how design, security, and trust all connect.

What did we do to preserve homes before the chemical concoctions we use today existed? Here is an open source plaster and eco-plaster page that explores the options.

A symbolic chessboard divided between two worlds — one side green and full of trees, people, and nature, and the other side dark with factories and pollution. The text across the center reads: “By making conscious choices, we can protect our planet for future generations.” The image represents the contrast between sustainable and destructive human actions.

What does it take to sustain design in open source? At Sustain Africa, conversations turned to trust, mentorship, and visibility, along with how design often remains invisible in OSS ecosystems. As Victory Brown shares, sustaining design isn’t technical; it’s cultural.

A colorful and cozy eco-village community space designed for collaboration and sustainability. The room features natural wooden furniture, vibrant cushions, and eco-friendly materials, reflecting the idea that eco-villages are not just homes but creative hubs fostering collaboration, innovation, and connection. Text overlay reads: “Eco-villages aren't just places to live, they're meant to be vibrant hubs of creativity, collaboration, and connection.”

Live at #PenpotFest, Mike Kamminga from Tokens Studio presenting Token Script, kind of a DSL to preprocess design tokens, ready as an embeddable interpreter.

This reminds me of the Sass/Less moment for CSS developers quite some years ago. There's so much future and opportunities to this!

Bauhaus said: Good design belongs to everyone.
Domovago says: Good design can move with you.
Different eras, same spirit.

#Domovago #WanderingHome #OpenSourceDesign #MobileLiving #SustainableLiving #Bauhaus #FormFollowsFunction

Minimalist digital illustration of a futuristic mobile home design outlined in geometric lines, representing the Domovago project. Below, the word DOMOVAGO appears in bold green Bauhaus-inspired typography. The image conveys the concept of a sustainable, mobile ‘wandering home,’ echoing Bauhaus principles of simplicity and function.

I found a stunning lamp design on Printables by Catdad Workshop and used it for my first ever vase mode print — after a couple of failed attempts, the result is magic.

3D printed wood base, sculpted waves, and a cozy glow. 🌊✨
