This talk will explore the intersection of open source and design. I will discuss the benefits of using open-source tools and platforms in design projects, as well as the importance of community collaboration and sharing knowledge. Through examples and case studies, attendees will learn about successful open-source design projects and how they can contribute to the open-source community. Whether you're a designer or developer, this talk will provide valuable insights on how open source can enhance your work and help build a more inclusive and sustainable design ecosystem.
The Czech "Bike to Work" challenge ("Do práce na kole" in Czech) is a sustainability-focused non-profit initiative based around free and open-source software.
Over 13 years, this project has been motivating people around the Czech Republic to choose more ecological means of travel to work for at least a month. Additionally, by crowdsourcing voluntarily provided bike routes, we have been providing data to cities to use for improving their cycling infrastructure.
This talk introduce the project, sum up its history, look at what's being planned (including a large-scale redesign), and go over how people can get involved.
