Via the [SustainOSS](https://discourse.opensourcedesign.net/t/flossux-a-project-about-stronger-ux-in-floss-projects/2387) community I found the great work of [@dani763f](https://github.com/dani763f), student at the IT University of Copenhagen currently writing a master thesis on UX design. They have done a study on the role of UX Design in FLOSS projects that contains valuable insights for any FLOSS maintainer who wants to build stronger UX in their project.

> This project is dedicated to **improving, educating and creating** discussion for the benefit of everyone interested in Free/Libre and Open Source Software (FLOSS). What does it take to create user experiences that rival proprietary software with huge budgets and design teams? Let’s figure it out as a community, through discussion and cooperation!
