4. What happens when a designer
goes to a contribution sprint?

8. So wait…
Where do I put this now?

15. Roadblocks faced by UX contributors
❖ Getting feedback from
EVERYONE in the community,
not just the high-volume
contributors
❖ Issue Queue can be
overwhelming for design
discussions
❖ Perception that non-code
contributions won’t be
valued or appreciated
❖ Excessive need for rationale

16. Taking this home:
What are the
opportunities?
