Calling all UX Designers!
How can your project attract (and keep!) UX designers? I'll list few specific changes that should help. But I have to warn you, these aren't quick hacks. They're small but meaningful changes to your culture that will also improve your product overall.
I gave a talk at FOSS Backstack on UX and FOSS last March. This is really 'part 2' in the series, making concrete suggestions maintainers can use to help make their projects more UX focused and by extension, help attract UX designers.
