find!
Perception of designers not needed in open-source, just make it
work.

designer.
Tools: Developers/companies needs to create more tools to help aid
designers contribute to open-source.

How can a designer begin contributing to open-source?
The GitHub issue tab is the best place to start
out.

code?
if the end product is quality software, why can't designers
code?
Design is necessary in building startup products and open-source product
in the realm of open-source.
The web has been open-source for designers using the “Web
Inspector”, live debugging design in CSS and JavaScript.
Version Control (design history)
Designing for multiple devices
Designing for multiple devices/responsiveness
Make Horrible design suck less
Always design for designers, developers often build for other developers
to contribute to.
TOOLS
