Folks, I would like to propose that you please discuss my proposal for an annual Fedora User Survey, as originally raised with FESCo: https://fedorahosted.org/fesco/ticket/453 The point of this survey is to ask users (and potential users) what they think of the current Fedora direction, the User_base, and other topics. To include gathering information about the user demographic, and to feed into future planning efforts on Fedora direction. Also, it's been 14 releases and we've yet to really ask our customers what they think! I was present at the FESCo meeting, wherein it was decided that such a matter was the purview of the Fedora Board, who should discuss this. I am going to raise this with the Fedora Marketing group, where we can discuss possible ways to IMPLEMENT a survey, but that does not have to gate the discussion giving a mandate to perform the survey initially. Clearly, all surveys have an inherent bias to them, but we've had anthropological studies performed on Fedora in the past and there are known ways to make surveys less tainted. There are also independent pollsters available who could be contracted to do this if needed. I would hope that the Board would see value in gathering opinion on the state of update policy, intended user base, though this should not block current ongoing efforts to implement tighter controls on such things. Jon. _______________________________________________ advisory-board mailing list advisory-board@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/advisory-board
