Meeting notes

Current Issues:

• Figma lacks robust support for open-source design systems.

• The organization owning the Figma file controls its publication.

Collaboration for Open edX:

• Design system changes for Open edX require collaboration between the UX/UI group and the Paragon working group.

• Ownership and publication authority remain with the organization that owns the Figma file.

Question Raised:

• Who will own the Figma file to make it accessible to the Open edX community?

Discussion Points:

• A consistent ownership model is needed for effective use of the Figma file by the community.

• Axim can be a potential owner and publisher, but this would require all contributors to have Axim accounts, which may be complex with many users.

• Alternatives include publishing under an entity like Open edX or a similar organization, ensuring clear management and hosting.

Final Decisions Taken:

1. Ownership and Access Management:

   • Axim will own the Figma file.

   • Access will be managed on a project-by-project basis, with seats adjusted as needed.

   • The Product Delivery Team will handle seat rotation.

   • For cross-organizational projects, the working group may manage access.

2. Designer Access:

   • Designers working on new or revised components will have temporary access to the Figma file to publish their work.

   • Completed components will be added to the Figma Library and codebase.

3. Time-Based Access:

   • Access will be granted for the duration of each project.

   • UX/UI leads will maintain access throughout the project period.
