Open Source software is infamous for not being usable: but it doesn't have to be. In this talk, Katie Riker (UX, Red Hat) and Chris DeFlumeri (Dev, TripAdvisor) will present three key concepts (Understanding, Support, and Performance ) that unite UX and development best practices and will help anyone create more usable software.
