• No cost UX research support - The Engine Room

    From Denisse Albornoz@3:633/10 to All on Monday, April 06, 2026 17:20:01
    Hi all,
    My name is Denisse. I am a researcher at the Engine Room <https://www.theengineroom.org/>. We are a non profit that supports
    civil society in using tech strategically to advance justice.
    I am reaching out because, as part of OTF's UXD Lab <https://www.opentech.fund/labs/uxd-lab/>, we provide no cost UX
    research support to internet freedom projects <https://www.theengineroom.org/ux-services/>. Debian came up in our
    recent consultations as a critical resource for social justice
    organizations in Latin America and we wanted to explore whether this
    support would be of interest for the Debian community.
    Our work typically includes user interviews, usability testing, and
    design recommendations from an equity lens. Last year, we worked with
    users across Latin America, Southeast Asia, Southwest Asia and Africa to develop product improvements and community outreach strategies for our partners.
    Our research support could be a good fit if, for example, you are
    looking to:
    * Understand how the tool is being used in specific contexts or by
    particular user groups
    * Learn more about the needs and profiles of your user communities
    (including potential users)
    * Improve usability and accessibility, especially in high-risk contexts
    If you are interested or would like to learn more, feel free to reach
    out to me at denisse@theengineroom.org.
    Best,
    Denisse
