Why do you want this tool added to the IEEE SA OPEN platform?:
Design is an extremely under-represented discipline within open source and very few open source tools support designers. PenPot is arguably the most important open source tool available to designers today.
What value does this tool provide to the IEEE SA OPEN community?:
Supporting this tool will signal to designers that their discipline is welcome on the SA Open platform and provides an opportunity for many really interesting integrations between tools (such as penpot and a project management tool, or exporting to gitlab issues, etc.)
