All

 

I’ve had a few conversations with folks recent= ly and there seems to be a desire to run another survey on Cloudstack adopt= ion.

 

I think this is a good idea.

 

When we ran the last survey (June 2013), we had long= debates on this list around the content of that survey, what questions sho= uld be asked and how we handle the data.

 

Original discussion thread: http://cloudstack.markmail.org/thread/ras2w7kezaqxp2ii

 

 

The end result was that I created this survey

h= ttps://www.surveymonkey.com/s/28BV97D

 

and we then agreed that I would work with a PMC memb= er in order to analyse and share the results back to the wider community. T= he source data was held in private@ for confidentiality.

 

Since that survey, we only have anecdotal evidence o= f user adoption. This is something that we MUST change IMO

 

My proposal is this:

1.     &= nbsp; We discuss on this list the format of that survey (= using the existing one as a starting point)  - what questions should b= e  asked, what we wish to establish. From the previous discussions, di= fferent people had different objectives for the survey

2.     &= nbsp; We then leave that survey open on a rolling basis. = We could link to it from cloudstack.a.o (“using Cloudstack? – t= ell us here”).
Hopefully, this will feed data into the “whos using cloudstack”=

3.     &= nbsp; As before, the raw data will be shared at @private = level and analysis of that data for publication can be performed  by a= group of PMC folks

 

 

Heres my initial comments on changes to the original= (mine are mostly marketing related):

 

1.     &= nbsp; We should ask about their community involvement, wh= ether they are signed up on mailing lists, etc (and can use this opportunit= y to TELL them about mailing lists)

2.     &= nbsp; Ask them what country they are based in (good for a= nalysis)

3.     &= nbsp;  If they are not the person who is responsible= for making the “we can talk about it” decision: we should ask = them who is

4.     &= nbsp; “In one line, describe what you use cloudstac= k for”

5.     &= nbsp; Ask them specifically if they would be prepared to = do a case study around cloudstack

6.     &= nbsp; Update/more specific version numbers

7.     &= nbsp; Ask them WHY they chose cloudstack

8.     &= nbsp; Create a Chinese, Japanese, Portuguese, French, Spa= nish,etc version of the survey (I can take on Portuguese & Spanish R= 11; will need help with the others)
