Guest Justin Scherer Panelists Eriol Fox | Memo Esparza | Georgia Bullen Show Notes Hello and welcome to Sustain Open Source Design! The podcast where we talk about sustaining open source with design. Learn how we, as designers, interface with open source in a sustainable way, how we integrate into different communities, and how we as coders, work with other designers. We have a very cool guest today, Justin Scherer, who has been designing software as a job for a decade or so, and he has done so for multi-national banks, national marketing campaigns, and small humanitarian not-for-profits. Lately, he's been working on tech for crisis response and the humanitarian sector, as well as developer tools and fintech products. Today, Justin tells us his story of his pathway to getting into designing software, working with Hover, building the personal finance app called Stax. He gives us an “exclusive” on how things are working with his design team, how he wants them to work, and more about the operations. He also goes in depth about how important the focus of research should be. Download this episode to find out much more! [00:01:37] Justin tells us about himself and what he's working on right now, which is a personal finance app called Stax. [00:02:39] We find out more about the product Stax, Hover Developer Services, and the team structure. [00:06:09] We find out the pathway to Justin's career starting with his educational background. [00:10:52] Eriol is interested to know more about how the design team is made up, what kind of activities and roles they do, and how open source plays into that. [00:12:43] Justin gives an “exclusive” on how things are working now with his design team and how he wants them to work. [00:17:57] Georgia asks Justin to explain more about the operations since that always seems to be the biggest challenge. He talks about a research study they are doing now finding out what kind of coin people want to get paid in. [00:22:04] Justin tells us about challenges he's run into with implementing open source design contributions and the issue he had with this. [00:25:03] Memo asks Justin to talk more about how design research plays its role on the whole process they set up on Stax and is that design research work open source. [00:29:13] Justin shares some critical breakthroughs that have come from the insights of research and how important research should be focused on. Quotes [00:11:11] “It's a team of ten, so everyone does design, everyone does UX on some level, that's like a sort of personal philosophy of mine, you know like great ideas or insights for a UX come from developers, they come from the CEO, they come from interns, they come from everybody.” [00:14:12] “I think of analytics is almost like the truffle pig in the design process.” [00:15:35] “And so I'd love to be able to source a lot of the sort of lower level, I think of like Small “D” and Big “D” Design.” [00:22:51] “I think contributing the source back into the community is the thing that makes this not fiber.” [00:23:37] “I used to work a major bank, you couldn't even talk to a user without six NDAs and four levels of approval from sixteen VPs whose titles you can't even pronounce.” [00:25:23] “I think again, in order to have open source design contributions we need to have open source research, and this is one of the things that I've been struggling with a little bit.” [00:26:53] “My focus has always been like get the research, get the insight, and that's the thing that's going to sell your design at the end of the day.” [00:27:41] “I always make the joke, like all the good ideas at Stax come from research.” [00:33:07] “I think that's actually the source of open source design really, it's not the design files, it's the knowledge and insight and those things that go around the design without which you're essentially just copying other people on Dribbble at the end of the day.” Spotlight [00:34:07] Memo's spotlight is an open source project called humaaans. [00:35:03] Georgia's spotlight is an open source project called PhishDetect. [00:36:00] Eriol's spotlight is a project from MozFest 2018 called Xenshana. [00:36:43] Justin's spotlight is open source hardware called Music Thing Modular by Tom Whitwell who is based in London.

In which “tech wizard” Tom Whitwell explains how modern trickery like the autotuner allows total incompetents to have hit records and why new equipment makes so many tracks sound the same. Plus … the recording methods of Maroon 5, Trevor Horn and Miles Davis, Neil Tennant’s memories of Dusty Springfield’s bizarre in-studio vocal technique and - David Hepworth’s favourite pop story - how part of a track by an obscure 1971 folk duo made ended up making a fortune via Madonna’s Ray Of Light.

In this first episode, we're very excited to present a nice long chat with one of the most highly respected minds in music technology journalism and Eurorack modular synthesis: Tom Whitwell of Music Thing Modular. Tom first came to my attention through his incredibly fantastic blog called Music Thing, which ran from August 2004-2008. Music Thing was a excellently curated and well-written blog, with Tom's humour and broad taste in music evident in the breadth and authenticity of the subjects it covered. I think the world of Music Technology journalism was considerably poorer when it ended.But although Tom's day job as Digital Editor of The Times took Music Thing out of action, it never stopped his interest in the field - and in fact, Tom cultivated a healthy interest in tinkering with music technology hardware. First, DIY guitar pedals, but later, that most ultimate of addictions: Eurorack Modular synths.In this episode, we talk about all of the above and more. Starting at the death of Music Thing, and Tom's first steps into Eurorack, moving on to learn the history and intent behind some of his most successful Eurorack projects, the "Turing Machine" and Radio Music, and learn about several projects never released to the public.He talks about his love for minimalist composers and time spent in La Monte Young's house listening to 77 sine waves, about quadraphonic music, Spotify's Generative Music Scam Accusations, thoughts about the future of music technology, synthesizer design, and much more besides.

This is the second episode in a collaboration with Synthtopia.com, featuring open source developers of both hardware and software. More information is available at synthtopia.com... What do you call the guy behind the Turing Machine, Radio Music module, Chord Organ and more? I call him a hero, but his name is Tom Whitwell. From the humble beginnings of the Music Thing blog to the current work (particularly in conjunction with Thonk Ltd), Tom is helping us all embrace our passion for cool gear and left field ideas - and is doing it with a personal twist that is unique among all module creators. I've long been a Radio Music user; my module, replete with a bizarro collection of samples, is a goto transition tool for live performance, and a nice addition to a lot of my more relaxed pieces. So many people use the Turing Machine that it's almost a ubiquitous sight in my friends' rigs. So Tom has definitely had an impact! But perhaps more important is the dedication that Tom has to the open hardware and open source nature of these modules. By creating these devices as open tools, it has allowed people to continuously improve the result, and even for interesting extensions (like the Chord Organ alternate software for Radio Music) to be built upon existing hardware. It's an impressive body of work, and a strong addition to the DIY modular community. I hope you enjoy my chat with Tom, and that you'll forgive me a little fan-boyishness...

Clothilde Redfern, Director of One World Media, and consultant Tom Whitwell, former Head of Digital at The Times, join Paul Blanchard to discuss the latest media stories. Press chiefs have confessed that they're "terrified" of sending their journalists to Iraq. How can we prepare correspondents to report from these dangerous areas? IPSO, the new press regulator, has already been subject to a lot of criticism with The Guardian announcing it would join some other papers in a boycott. Now the dust has settled on Leveson, are we any better off? An organisation has launched a crowdfunding campaign to buy The Times and The Sunday Times, to highlight the fact that 80 percent of UK national newspapers are owned by five families. Is there too much media power concentrated in the hands of the few?
