Community 🧑🤝🧑
Community call #10 is happening today.
We had a great design review call #8 discussing BTCPay, Hexa Wallet and Zeus Wallet (video).
Design review call #9 is on February 8, and Bitcoin Design Guide Jam Session #3 on February 1.
Our FOSDEM presentation is on February 6 (schedule). It is a free conference about open-source. A group of community members put together a 15-minute video (Slack thread with the video). There are also several talks about design in open-source at the conference, feel free to join.
20 replies already on the topic of onboarding open-source projects to the guide. There are 4 projects interested in design support. Interested in helping out?
We now have a (still almost empty) Bitcoin Design YouTube channel? Check it out.
