Rick Banister
Rick Banister says “Listen up!”
Let people in the open-source community know you are listening by responding promptly.
Listen to more than just what users are saying, look for context clues to reach a greater understanding.
Fall in love with the problem, not the solution.
A language gap can still yield an experience overlap.
Don’t just listen to users’ words, observe their actions.
Don’t act like the expert, be the apprentice and let your users teach you everything they know.
Suspend your judgement in order to listen objectively.
Let data ask all the questions.

About his talk at #WCNashik
Listening is a key skill in a design practice. Stakeholder interviews and research are helpful tools, but only paint part of the picture. Growing as a designer requires an ever increasing amount of empathy.
The designer must become an active listener, open to new experiences, free of biases, and ever curious. Automattic incorporates listening into its design work in a number of ways—this talk will explore a number of those to give the audience a sense of how to be more receptive to customers and clients.
Designers at Automattic use techniques like ‘active listening’, observing user behavior, looking for the right problem considering solutions, suspending judgement, debiasing, and exploring data from all angles to avoid dubious correlations in order to best serve our customers.

Shree Gauri Sawant
Gauri Sawant; Society told her that she is not a woman; but she became a mother. They told her that she has no rights of her own, that she does not exist in the eyes of the law; yet, she took in an orphaned girl to protect her right to a happy childhood, so that another little girl doesn’t get trafficked and disappear into oblivion.
“I don’t feel special. I became a mother because of Gayatri and she is my pillar of strength. I did what every mother does, As I believe ‘Care has no Gender'” says Gauri.
Instead of approaching others, She decided that she will build a home for these children. The thought helped her realize the aptness of the phrase, ‘charity begins at home!

Along with Collaborating with crowdfunding website Milaap, Gauri wanted to have her own online space for Aajicha Ghar – आजीचं घर which is built on WordPress, Gauri intends to raise funds through her website, towards providing a safe haven for the children.
