And of course, not all support has to be financial. Most of the people who work on software that we use every single day do it for free and in their own time.

It's announcement time! I'm so honoured to be part of the 2nd wave of @penpot Ambassadors, representing Canada 🇨🇦

Being an ambassador for Penpot is bringing so many of my passions together: advocating for open-source tools in design, removing barriers from education, and bringing the community together.

We're still working on the logistics of the first event, but I'm hoping we can host it as a hybrid event so everyone across the country can join in. Sometime around the end of September, but more on that in the coming weeks.

Canada is a huge country, and it's wonderful how many ethnicities, cultures, languages, and design communities are part of it. My hope is to create a Penpot team here so we can rotate event formats, languages, and times to accommodate everyone.

If you're a Canadian designer curious about open-source design, drop a comment or DM me! I’d love to connect.

I am truly excited for what the future holds!
