Town Hall #80: Community Site Planning 

We are grateful to the platformOS community for having contributed enormously to the success of platformOS. Now we are opening a new chapter: our community gets a home.

We have kicked off our project for building the community site and in our latest Town Hall, Director of UX Kata Nagygyörgy told you about:

• The Design Thinking method and why we are using it to plan our new Community site.

• An empathetic understanding of user needs, and why it is crucial in every project.

• How you as a pOS community member can help to plan and contribute to the community site.
