The expectation of Open Source software is changing quickly. In the past, providing reactive design was perceived as just doing enough to make products more usable. With today's competitive landscape of Open Source products, teams are bringing more proactive user experience design into their projects. 

Reactive design results in fixing problems based on decisions which have already been made or implemented. Proactive design involves a more holistic approach to solving challenges, and contributing better designs to improve the overall product usability. In this session we will be talking about why and when it's important to address each type of design, as well as some lessons learned.
