Subject: Re: Helping to improve advertising of test days and other
things
To: "Fedora Marketing team"
If we want a method to aggregate responses we can modify smolt a
bit.
1. Smolt would collect data without user's intervention in test
released and make a profile on a webpage which catalogs test
releases.
2. On this page we can add a few more columns to the table in which
testers write about their test experiences.
3. We can make a page which describes how to test releases as a
page which is displayed when the first time Firefox is started.
4. The qa team sees the results constantly being uploaded on that
page and analyses it together on gobby.
5. I think this would solve a part of the problem.
What do you guys think about it?
I dont think smolt was intended to be used like this + The more
bureaucracy that reporters need to perform will most likely result in
less participation.
The only think the marketing team needs to do is advertise test days
on Twitter G+ Facebook etc.. and notify any media contacts we are in
contact with.
I think I'd agree with Johann on this one - smolt isn't really designed
for this and I don't think the smolt maintainers would see it as an
appropriate direction for smolt. It's really just meant to be for
tracking hardware information.
In addition, I don't think the idea quite lines up with how test days
actually work. Test days aren't about doing general testing of
pre-release images, they're meant to be for real-time, collaborative
testing of specific subject areas. The process described above doesn't
really fit into this, so far as I can see.
Thanks a lot for trying to help out, though!
I do quite like one idea from the above in isolation - it might be nice
to have the default browser home page in pre-releases point to somewhere
which explains how to perform useful testing of pre-releases. Seems
logical. We could look into that...
