I’m using open source as more of a term of convenience than its strict OSI definition, but regardless I feel strongly that those types of contributions should be welcomed by open source projects. a contribution absolutely doesn’t have to be code to be worthwhile, and there’s so many open source projects just dying for any design attention at all. a lot of the projects that get that kind of attention get it from corporations, which then use their position as a lever to control the direction of the project as a whole. there’s no reason it should be like this, but the more toxic elements of hacker culture make open source projects unfriendly places for most designers.
