Despite an unexpected detour into economics at university, my heart has always belonged to the world of design and its power to shape society. Also, as a participant in Jamie's Gapyear Program (JGP) a unique initiative that supports young individuals in pursuing self-directed learning and personal growth outside traditional academic structures founded by Jamie Lin and Ronnie Tseng. I'm taking a year off from my studies to explore the intersection of design and open-source projects, particularly within the context of Taiwan's g0v community. My journey with civic technology began at the age of 17 when I joined Taiwan's g0v (gov zero) community. This vibrant ecosystem of civic-minded technologists opened my eyes to the potential of ordinary people to drive meaningful social change through technology. Since then, I've been applying my design skills to address public issues, bridging the gap between complex technological solutions and the needs of everyday citizens. This experience also leads me to the opportunity to work in National Taiwan University as a design intern and contributor, with a big thanks to Max Chou Now, as I embark on a gap year, I'm diving deeper into the intersection of design and open-source projects. My goal is to explore how design can foster positive change in open-source communities, particularly within the context of civic technology. During this year, I plan to immerse myself in various g0v projects, gaining a deeper understanding of their design needs and challenges. Simultaneously, I'm collaborating with Superbloom a non-profit design team, to facilitate a workshop that will guide designers in contributing to open-source projects on GitHub. This initiative aims to empower more creatives to lend their skills to meaningful open-source efforts. Beyond the workshop, I'm creating resources to help g0v and other open-source community members communicate their ideas more effectively. By streamlining the process of design contributions, I hope to make it easier for designers to engage with and enhance open-source projects. This gap year represents more than just a break from traditional academics; it's an opportunity to create lasting impact on the civic technology landscape. By leveraging my design skills and passion for social change, I aim to strengthen the bridge between the design community and open-source initiatives, ultimately contributing to a more engaged and technologically empowered society. As I continue this journey, I remain inspired by the power of design to transform complex ideas into accessible solutions. Through my work with g0v, Superbloom, and the broader open-source community, I hope to play a part in shaping a future where technology and design work hand in hand to address society's most pressing challenges. Can't wait to get started --- 嗨，我是 Tofus， 作為一位來自台灣的設計師，我對 UX 設計的熱情可以追溯到高中時期。儘管在大學期間意外地轉向經濟學，我的心始終屬於設計世界，並深信設計有能力改變社會。 此外，我是 Jamie's Gapyear Program (JGP) 的參與者，這是一個由 Jamie Lin 和 Ronnie Tseng 創立的獨特計畫，支持年輕人追求自主學習和個人成長，超越傳統學術結構。我決定休學一年，探索設計與開源專案的交集，特別是在台灣 g0v 社群的背景下。 我的公民科技之旅始於 17 歲時加入台灣的 g0v (gov zero) 社群。這個充滿公民意識的技術社群讓我看到了普通人可以通過技術推動有意義的社會變革的潛力。從那時起，我一直在運用我的設計技能來解決公共問題，橋接複雜的技術解決方案和日常市民的需求。這段經歷也讓我有機會在國立台灣大學擔任設計實習生和貢獻者，特別感謝 Max Chou。 現在，在這個間隔年中，我深入探索設計與開源專案的交匯點。我的目標是探討設計如何在開源社群中促進積極變化，尤其是在公民科技領域。 在這一年中，我計劃深入參與各種 g0v 專案，深入了解其設計需求和挑戰。同時，我正與 Superbloom 非營利設計團隊合作，舉辦一個工作坊，指導設計師如何在 GitHub 上貢獻開源專案。這個計畫旨在賦能更多創意人士將他們的技能運用到有意義的開源努力中。 除了工作坊，我還在創建資源，幫助 g0v 和其他開源社群成員更有效地溝通他們的想法。通過簡化設計貢獻的過程，我希望使設計師更容易參與並提升開源專案。 這個間隔年不僅僅是傳統學術的中斷，更是對公民科技領域的持久影響的機會。通過運用我的設計技能和對社會變革的熱情，我旨在加強設計社群與開源計畫之間的橋樑，最終為建立一個更參與和技術賦能的社會貢獻力量。 在這段旅程中，我始終受到設計將複雜理念轉化為可接觸解決方案的能力所激勵。通過我在 g0v、Superbloom 以及更廣泛的開源社群中的工作，我希望在塑造一個技術與設計攜手應對社會最緊迫挑戰的未來中，發揮一部分作用。 迫不及待想開始了。 ## 月報告 - [7 月份報告](/7C05nOMbSkul2q0u27AUQA) - [8 月份報告](/0aKpGP7PSYe6XQ0BmW7NoA) ## 一些途中翻譯的文章 - [在開源軟體中的設計師：開源軟體貢獻設計師日誌研究 by Eriol Fox, Duane O'Brien](https://g0v.hackmd.io/@tofus/designer-oss-daily) ## 途中不小心掉入的坑 - [Tofus 與 Web3forAll 讀書會](https://g0v.hackmd.io/@tofus/web3forall) - [FAQ 許願池](/V7BeOzDmTYyiJ41jrQTURQ) ## 參考資訊 - [Jamie's Gap Year Program 官網](https://gapyear.tw) - [豆腐的 JGP 提案（修正版）](/4wCAwa80SDK6ZNXxJtPMpg)
