Various case studies (both current and 'archived' or 'ended') that are examples of how design can be done in OSS or case studies by designers in Open Source Software.
This page is a collection of resources, links, articles, case studies and more that are relevant examples of how design can be done in OSS or case studies by designers in Open Source Software.
These links can serve as inspiration for your own research or to further your understanding of how design manifests in open communities.

* [**Document Foundation UX Principles**](https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Design/Principles):
All designs for LibreOffice should be checked against these principles.
These principles are currently mostly copies of those set out by Mozilla.
This page in particular features many definitions and concepts used in the LibreOffice development community.
* [**Simple.org**](https://www.simple.org/):
This is the documentation effort done by the Simple.org team for their internal design team (funded) and also the designers they engage outside of their staff. They approached design volunteer contributions with a view to select 'design experts in certain medical areas' e.g. a designer that had previously worked on diabetes tools and services. This serves as a good example of documentation and processes that can be referenced when you're an OSS org looking for 'specific design insight'

* [**Open Source Design Processes at Ushahidi**](https://docs.ushahidi.com/platform-developer-documentation/design/design-process):
This documentations work at Ushahidi was funded by DIAL to improve the readability and inclusivity of Ushahidi's documentation to encourage contribution across functions and skills and documented good amounts of examples of how a design function within a moderately resourced NGO OSS org could be done.
