I disagree, from my experience designers are generally not interested in OSS projects like developers are. There is one designer for 50 developers.

Probably because for developers, OSS is a badge of honour and can help your CV / find paid jobs - while for designers it's just a dribble nobody cares about.

When designers partecipate, they get to contribute and even impose (sometimes questionable, think kde4) choices.

Maybe it's time for developers to launch projects that make designers look good when participating in OSS projects.
