Lessons from Prometheus's First Design Mentorship
Victoria Nduka

What happens when a developer-first open source project tries UX research for the first time? This talk tells the story of Prometheus's first UX mentorship and explores the reality of introducing research to a dev-first community. Was it worth it? Will they do it again? And what can other OSS projects learn from their experience?
