Penpot will be launched shortly before FOSDEM takes place, for a reason. Three years ago we presented our vision to the audience and we promised we would build a design & prototyping platform that was all about open standards (SVG, HTML, CSS) and open source, but also about collaboration between designers and developers at the design process level. We wanted to make FOSDEM 2023 the community event at which we demoed Penpot "GA", what it brings, why it matters, and what's next. We are extremely excited to share the good news with the open source design community!

2022 has been a breaking year for us. We moved out from Alpha into Beta, enjoyed a ton of love from the community (libraries, templates, features, translations, tutorials) and we have kept adding features and making sure we are actively listening to users.

Penpot (formerly UXBOX) is an Open Source online design & prototyping platform with the aim of bringing the whole team to the design process. Penpot is multiplatform (web based) and based on open standards (SVG). The platform provides a set of tools meant not only for designers but also for developers and stakeholders. Design, prototype, feedback system, handoff specifications and low-code among them.

We will share our vision, Penpot’s current state and our next challenges about the project. We will also perform a demo and hope to contribute to the already open channel between FOSS and Design.

Hello World UXBOX! This will be our first public announcement of the coming of UXBOX, the open source prototyping online platform based on SVG. We will share our vision and the 2020 product roadmap, explaining the resources that are committed to them. We will perform a quick demo and hope to start a productive conversation with the Open Source Design Community.

After 2 years of painstakingly slow development, Kaleidos (UXBOX sponsor, also Taiga creator) has finally decided to devote full-time resources and relevant investment to once and for all create a modern open source UX/UI prototyping online platform. With open standards (SVG) as a core feature and value, we hope to contribute a much needed platform to the Open Source Design community, which we consider to be instrumental to make UXBOX the best online prototyping tool out there, period. This short talk would share both the vision of the product, its current state and the 2020 roadmap. Moreover, we will want to nurture a healthy and welcoming community around the development and usage of UXBOX and we will give some hints on how we plan to do this so we can already take great feedback from FOSDEM attendees. UXBOX is being developed by open source enthusiasts coming from the tech and UX/UI trenches that have already built 20+ products for startups and launched Taiga in the past. Kaleidos, its umbrella company, has raised seed money and is devoting funds to make sure there is an amazing multidisciplinary team focused on UXBOX, also able to engage with a newly born community of users and contributors.
