Integrating user experience into free/libre open source software
Daniel L. Schwartz, Allen Gunn · 2009
The importance of software in daily life for casual and business purposes has led to a strong increase in the formal integration of usability in commercial software development processes. However, usability still appears to be largely an afterthought for Free/Libre/Open Source Software (FLOSS). The intent of this Special Interest Group (SIG) is to encourage participation by the user experience (UX) community and to identify solutions for better integration of UX into the FLOSS development process.
