We’re looking forward to UDS. For me personally it will be my first and I’m thrilled to check out all the interesting sessions and hear your stories about Ubuntu and design. There will also be a very exciting design track in which we hope to work together on many cool topics, such as fonts, Juju GUI, Danish toys, the theater and many more! For example, we will run some very interesting sessions on Ubuntu font guidelines and error states. We will organize real user-testing with the brand new Juju GUI. According to tradition, we will again organize the design theater. And we also invited two external speakers – one from LEGO and one from a design company – to talk about their experience with co-creation and their work with communities. We’ll send out a more detailed schedule later this week. Hope to see you at the Bella Center in Copenhagen next week!
