   - Leadership is an interesting perspective, since open soruce projects sometimes have strong, opinionated leadership (Linux, Python…)
   - *Planning* (be it central or not) might be the crucial point; planning artifacts are rarely used and management (where "planning" often lies) is eshewed actively.

     Agreed, I using this "tech debt" point as a wedge to pry open a deeper, more sociological discussion of what is going on.

     I started off naively, assuming teams just needed more "UX maturity" but it feels deeper than that. It's more of a lack of centralized planning, making harder decisions that clearly impact UX, but so many other things as well. Without understanding this lack of stronger leadership, I worry we'll never fix #UX in #FOSS projects.

     Adrian Cochrane repeated this.
