Design Thinking and how the Free Desktop may benefit from it
Clemens N. Buss is using Linux since 1998 but only got involved into Gnome actively through 2008's Summer of Code. Even though being a physicist by training he always had a huge interest in user-centric design which brought him to studies at the HPI School of Design Thinking in Potsdam. During that time already he co-founded the Berlin based Design Thinking agency inventedhere with friends from D-School in Potsdam. Today he works partly for inventedhere and his PhD in theoretical physics.
Design Thinking is a powerful methodology to identify and address a user's latent needs. It is executed in a flexible space and makes use of the diversity of multidisciplinary teams. As a third ingredient it incorporates a sophisticated process, which helps to stay focused on the challenge, set free creativity and encourage early prototypes.
This talk gives detailed account of Design Thinking as a whole and how the Free Desktop specifically may benefit from it. Here, the range includes the design of a great interface experience for the end-user as well as questions around the open source development process and the community.
It is a follow up to last year's GUADEC Workshop and lightning talk by the same speaker and is connected to the Design Thinking Workshop happening at the summit.
