Open Source Design Process: IDEO + BugLabs

IDEo and Buglabs

IDEO and BugLabs recently collaborated on a conceptual exploration of the BUGbase UI. Unlike most design projects, this was one was open source, with lots of content from throughout the process posted to a blog.

Even though I understand competitive advantage and the need for secrecy, I’ve always hoped designers could find a way to share their ideas. I imagined some “designers code” in which we could help each other for mutual benefit but not share this information outside of our circle. I realize I’m dreaming a little, but this open source design process has got me excited. Any other open source, design process work like this going on that I should know about?
