Kaleidos/Penpot

Description

For too long open source has lacked a truly professional design & prototyping tool for building software. Perhaps partly because of the intricate (reasons &) consequences of this, great UX/UI design hasn't been among the qualities of open source software.
This talk will share the big WHYs around and open source & open standards design & prototyping platform like Penpot and demo specific features and capabilities the Ubuntu community could benefit from.
