The next topic was a sharing round where we shared our knowledge and skills, what we can do to help and change the current proprietary and closed-down system and provide help where it's needed the most in open source. After, [Renata](https://twitter.com/RenataGegaj) of our team shared some Usability Studies we accomplished before, such as [Thunderbird](https://ura.design/projects/thunderbird) and [I2P](https://ura.design/projects/i2p). Later, Sam shared some info about the issue of Diffing SVG-s and how difficult it is to process it correctly and with consistent results, because each software tries to do it in their own way.

#### November 4th (final day)
#### November 4th (Last Meeting Day)
The last day (Sunday) started as usual, but this time at 10:30 AM. This final day was mostly marketing related but busier.
The last day started a bit later, which is expected of a Sunday morning
We started by discussing about the Summit itself and community building (via local meetups). Then, we split into two groups, one inside and one outside. The one inside worked on finalizing the Manifesto meanwhile the one outside discussed about Design Tools, what each of us used, what can we use and bring new ideas into the table. This was a very important topic as we agreed that open source design tools projects need more dev feedback and also help in improving their UI/UX.
We firstly discussied about the Summit itself and how we could build upon community building intiatives (via local meetups for example). Afterwards we split into two groups, one inside and one outside. The one inside worked on finalizing the Manifesto meanwhile the one outside discussed about Design Tools, what each of us used, what can we use and bring new ideas into the table. This was a very important topic as we agreed that open source design tools projects need more dev feedback and also help in improving their UI/UX.
After these sessions, there was lunch 🥗 again at 1 PM and the sessions resumed at 2 PM.
The whiteboard was filled with sticky notes 📌 and everyone brainstormed 💡 about different organizations/projects that had similar goals and intensions as Open Source Design.
We discussed about ways to build up a bugdet that Open Source Design can use to extend its activity, changes we would be doing in the Open Source Design website, such as a new theme, the structure of the organisation, the platforms we would use, the politics we would follow, [Adbusting](https://www.wordaz.com/adbusting.html), project outreach and how we could onboard new designers into the project.

The event was wrapped up at 5 PM and the Summit was announced as over. Here is the group photo 📸 from the Summit. Enjoy!
Of course we didn't forget to take a group photo from the Summit!
