No cost UX research support - The Engine Room

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 [email protected].

Best,
Denisse
