Please see this document for the full job description: https://cloud.opensourcedesign.net/s/Ly6WTWYg4Gn5aQT

Open Source Design (OSD) is a community of designers and developers pushing for more open design processes and improving the user experience and interface design of open-source software.

OSD received funding to explore and evolve the governance, decision making and organizational structure of the OSS community project. We expect some open sourced documents/writing to be published, some updates/information to be documented on our Github organisations/repositories and research documents to be produced.

We are looking for support in exploring and understanding governance broadly for Open Source Design. You can find some background details in this repo https://github.com/Erioldoesdesign/open-source-design-community-governance/blob/main/the-state-of-open-source-designs-community-and-governance.md

We’re looking for people with experience of governance processes and decision making across volunteer communities to carry out research and discussions that lead to an understanding of where OSD’s governance and decision making can be added to, changed and improved in order to build and implement a resilient, sustainable, equitable and respectful process that can ensure OSD’s community can clearly understand what and why the community focuses on, with what resources and have clear pathways to connection and contribution.

We’re asking for simple indicators of interest from people wanting to take on this work in the form of either written answers to the following questions or any other formats (audio/video) that the applicants may find more comfortable.

Question 1: Have you any public examples of helping community groups through governance and decision making process that you can share or any brief descriptions you can offer?

Question 2: Briefly (no more than 200-500 written words) describe your thoughts on approaching this work from what you’ve read in this project posting so far? What questions/challenges come up for you about the nature of this work and how do you intend to explore those?

Please don’t send an overwhelming amount of information or evidence. We want to see how you respond to these questions and not benchmark based on impressive sounding prior clients. Please keep clarifying questions to a single email thread if needed. If we have follow up questions or clarifications we’ll reach out for or additional information. Please do not request calls with any of the OSD members about this work.

Applications will be assessed based on the answers to the above questions and evidence of public example/s from question one. The OSD governance committee of 5+ people will assess these via private discussion.

Applications will close on 15th of May 2026

Candidates will receive feedback by June 15th 2026

How to Apply:

**erioldoesdesign@gmail.com** OSD Governance Advisory committee chat group (access given once a individual has been selected) The selected candidate will ‘report’ to the wider community of open source design. There are no management ‘approval’ processes where a specific member will ‘sign off’ on the work. The work will reach a state that the OSD community can continue with and meets as reasonable an amount of ‘approval’ as feasible in the current decision making processes.

mochajs.org facelift and logo

Mocha — Mon, 02 Oct 2017 05:40:27 +0000

Organization: Mocha

Status: filled

Compensation: paid

Role: logo, branding, site design

Mocha is a testing framework, and the most depended-upon project in the npm ecosystem.

…but our site was built in (literally) 2011. That said, this old horse gets about 200k page hits a month over the past year (it’s a single page).

Our site should still be focused on documentation (tutorials and dry API docs), but would also like to add a “news” or “blog” section. Let’s move away from “one huge page” and organize it properly. The site should be responsive, accessible and lightweight.

A new logo and/or logotype would be desirable. Our tagline is “simple, flexible, fun”; ultimately the design of the logo and site should reflect that. We plan to put the logo(s) on shirts, stickers, and swag.

Donations the project has received could pay for the work. We are all volunteers, but we don’t have enough time nor skill to pull this off ourselves. You can do this for free, but we want you to be motivated!

How to Apply:

Contact Christopher Hiller on [Twitter](https://twitter.com/b0neskull) or email [boneskull@boneskull.com](mailto:boneskull@boneskull.com)
