ABSTRACT
This paper presents a case study of the process of designing
free/libre & open source software (FLOSS) concepts and
interfaces within an open FLOSS community – the Fedora
Project, a popular Linux-based operating system. This
paper will review the challenges faced by designers in
getting involved in FLOSS with examples from the Fedora
community. It will also provide recommendations for
getting started in an open source community as a designer,
learned from experiences doing so in Fedora.
