This year FOSS Backstage Design will feature a barcamp. This format is especially great, because it allows to shape the program to the interests of the participants, encourages everyone to contribute to the event and is a lot of fun!

At the barcamp we will build the program adhoc during the event. Just bring your session ideas and see what others want to discuss. After a short round of session pitches, the most popular proposals will be put onto the schedule.

To kick off the day and provide some inspiration, the first half of #FOSSDesign will start with a number of curated talks. This also will give everyone enough time to get to know each other, maybe come up with last minute session idea or adjust your the proposals for the barcamp.

The topics that were covered at the inaugural edition included:

• design methods,
• user research,
• how to incorporate Design into product development,
• writing good documentation,
• testing and measuring usability,
• and even how to design for XR leveraging the power of OSS tools.
