<p>During last weekend the Ura team traveled to Brussels, Belgium to attend <ahref="https://fosdem.org/2018/"target="_blank">FOSDEM</a>. We had the chance to be present at one of the largest conferences in Europe (and probably the largest Free Software/ Open Source one). Just like at <ahref=""CCC,westrivetobeateventswhichpromotecollaborativeprojectsandinitiatives.Inadditiontothat,threemembersoftheteamwerethereasMozillaTechSpeakers.Itcanbesaidthatmanyofuswearvarioushatsatthesametime.</p>
<p>As part of the <ahref="http://opensourcedesign.net/"target="_blank">Open Source Design community</a>, you could find us at the respective infobooth on both days. Members of our team were at the both along with other fellow designers. Together, we emphasized the importance of usability and user centered design in Open Source Projects. At the “Design Clinic” session, attendees could come to us and showcase us their project. By doing so, designers could advise them on the improvements their design would benefit from.</p>
<p>Since she was going to attend the <ahref="https://sha2017.org/"target="blank">SHA2017</a> Hacker Camp in the Netherlands, this was a great opportunity for her to also meet people from the <ahref="http://opensourcedesign.net/"target="blank">Open Source Design</a> community and people from other open source projects we’ve been working with.<br/>
For those of you who haven’t heard of SHA before: this is an outdoor hacker camp which took place in the Netherlands on August 4th to 8th and was the successor of similar events which have been taking place every 4 years and thousands of visitors have been joining it. Thousands of activists,free-thinkers, hackers, geeks, scientists, makers and others from all over the world joined SHA2017 to share their ideas, thoughts and knowledge, to discuss, build and hack with others.</p>
