The Bitcoin Design Community, a group dedicated to open source design for bitcoin products, is organizing a Designathon (a hackathon but for design) from October 12th to 23rd.
The Design Bitcoin team has partnered with Bolt.Fun and their Legends of Lightning tournament while also looking to coordinate with the TABConf Builder Day. The goal of the event is to connect builders and designers to collaborate and explore new ideas and concepts in the ecosystem.
Designers who want to submit ideas for the Designathon can do so here and after a quick review, the ideas will be published on the main site for others to see and consider as a project.
In addition, anyone can submit an idea to work with others or individually and attendees will also have the option to participate in other projects they have not submitted. When attendees add a project to the event they will also have the opportunity to enter the Legends of Lightning tournament.
The event will follow a loose schedule with three main segments: kickoff, mid-event check-in and closing calls. Projects will follow their own pace throughout the event.
Additionally, the team behind the event is trying to schedule some design jam sessions, workshops, and other events that will be available during the Designathon.
Potential sponsors who want to get involved in the project can do so in the form of prizes for attendees. 100% of the proceeds from the sponsorships will go to the participants.
