# FOSDEM Presentation (DRAFT)

## Why?
- One designer can't do it alone, global design problem solving requires a global community
- Privacy tools and failures of adoption (see PGP)
- Developers have a need to get input on their design decisions.
- Bitcoin can only succeed as a global currency if it becomes accessible by as many people as possible. Good user experience design can be a strong factor in this.

## Examples
- We have community members from all over the world that share how bitcoin is used locally.
- We learn about the challenges designers face getting into bitcoin design as it is very technical, but also comes with a lot of responsiblity. Designing tools that manage people's money - on an immutable ledger can be a scary thing.

## Community
- Video

## Future
- Our particular effort is just starting out.
- Working on getting more directly involved with projects.
- Keep building out the guide and resources to **empower each other**.
