“How to run an open source project”

Operation is the bridge connecting users with products and development. A well-run and long-term maintenance project cannot do without the support of professional operations. The same is true for open source projects. Although the groups faced by open source operations are different from general Internet products, they are programmers and designers, but we can still use conventional operating models and tools to help projects better attract contributors and serve users.

Typically we follow the following process to guide our day-to-day operations:

target analysis
· Compare current and target data to find gaps in indicators · Split channels and estimate the amount of improvement brought by each channel

· Find the most effective channels

User analysis market

Categorize the proportion of different users, revenue and growth space. There are many people inside and outside the TDesign project company. We distinguish the PMC team, collaborative team, internal and external contributors, core contributors, users, etc., and adopt different strategies for different groups to enrich community activities.

ROI analysis

Get the most out of your project with limited operational manpower and resources. For the most important contributor role of open source projects, the method of contributor conversion funnel is used to make targeted improvements in each link that may lose contributors. Judging from the experience of the open source community, many excellent projects can run well with only a few core but active contributors actively maintaining them. The focus of our project operation work should also be on the conversion and incentives of core contributors.

Marketing Tools

Actively reach users through the packaging of content and gameplay.

Post-event operational data analysis

Review and summarize operational data to guide the next operational activity.

In our daily work, we often split open source operations according to channel operations, content operations, and product operations. For open source projects at the initial stage, we can start with content operations, and use the “dry goods” accumulated in the development or design field to attract potential users. , do a good job in the internal and external synchronization of the daily project progress, and consider some special activities when the project operation is gradually on the right track, so as to increase the exposure in the community.


“Multilingual Design of Overseas Product Design”

For designers, multilingual design is a very important link in the design of overseas products. It allows products to have the most basic potential to adapt to different regions, and also provides a good environment for the translation and presentation of localized content. According to the actual design process path, the course introduces several key points and relevant suggestions that need to be understood when dealing with multilingual products:

· Recognize the differences between languages , such as differences in character shape, content length, vocabulary boundaries, and reading order, etc., and fully understand the key differences between languages, so as to better formulate design strategies. It is recommended that the startup design learn about the language range supported by the product from the business side in advance.
· Multilingual design needs to meet the two principles of readability and inclusiveness . Paying attention to character readability and content readability can help users use the product more smoothly; satisfying layout inclusiveness and cognitive inclusiveness can make content adaptation more flexible, and serve users in different cultural backgrounds.

· In the actual design implementation , the analysis and processing of specific problems can be carried out from the four dimensions of basic style, general layout, component use and icon design. For example, pay attention to the text space and paragraph space, and how to better handle the language display of different lengths and boundaries while meeting the demands of product content display. When choosing common components, such as labels, buttons, tabs, etc., the usage strategy is also slightly different from Chinese products.

· Finally, in the stage of landing restoration , designers need to cooperate with development by setting adaptation and font rules, as well as meticulous effect acceptance, in order to achieve better product realization results.
