Asking for feedback - what questions should we ask? whatcanidoforfedora.org
by Ankur Sinha 09 Oct '16

09 Oct '16

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA256 Hiya, I wanted to collect some data on how well whatcanidoforfedora.org works. This is the initial set of questions I've come up with. Could I request folks to please see if they're OK and suggest adding/removing some to improve the data we'll collect from this? - - are you an existing contributor or a newbie? - - did the site succeed in matching you to a team or task? - - how much time/effort did it take? - - do you feel the site took you through the correct steps to match you to the team/task? - - do you feel it is the correct team or task for you? Why? - - did you undertake the task/join the team? - - did you find the site easy/difficult/confusing to use? - - what language did you use the site in? - - do you feel more confident about being a community member after using the site? - - do you feel that using the site has helped you learn more about the community and the project? - - how do you feel the site can be improved? I want to learn a few things here: - - do people actually use whatcanido and get anywhere? - - I feel the questions/suggestions are now a bit too specific. I ended up on "anaconda" in a test run, and in "docs beats" in another. I really don't expect a newbie to take either one of these up - they don't know anything about the community, neither the anaconda team, nor the docs team. Can we expect them to become part of the community by undertaking such specific, complicated tasks? So, while whatcanido is a place where you go to find "open tasks", I don't think it's a newbie onboarding tool at the moment. - - does the site give people a general idea of how the community functions? Ideas/comments/feedback? I don't know if we can find one place to collect all the feedback - if nothing comes up, I'll just ask people to e-mail me and I can manually collate the information? - -- Thanks, Regards, Ankur Sinha "FranciscoD" http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/User:Ankursinha -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2 iQEcBAEBCAAGBQJXxg+yAAoJEPjYwL66yJi9o5EH/1WWql55n7vblZKWHesEOCm+ HVm0WAVZ3x2cho7b/GxW4mD/5fqM/siosXuo0SeRMJe1GRCZ+dj9pnjc+bg2Hg09 H3b5gYzxZDTq+fWFAk5ar5H1EBYk6TnWNd6IAasi+vyf8QhNK9MA/7OoTWVqd2fd 07Tm4YWFZjNcpDC6+eHaWRhhWHnv7xYb5GYILMeU3Vwt1Ryv9NgTBpWZ+wJgCtlw BsdFYe1JrwtrcJF9GUSFxujmMnXM+rZrCe04Yy8+CFgjeO22V411fJNQKw0r4qgb oLvDb5NUeU9TRvPkV6+vh+1XiQjIsBMsRmdP7kZMhr94WwmNaZ2CaIYeXwnIq3I= =ixJt -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----

FLOCK Stories 2016 Interview Series Podcast
by Chris Ward 08 Sep '16

08 Sep '16

Hey folks! During FLOCK I took it upon myself to interview a bunch of attendees and speakers as a bit of an experiment for myself, with the hope it might turn out to be something worth contributing back to the Fedora Community. I think they're working out reasonably well. Not perfect, but worth posting, nonetheless. I'd like to post the results (one per week, approximately) to the community.fedoraproject.org blog. I expect I'll post something between 10 and 15 of them over the coming weeks. The first 'blog post / article' of the series is posted below for review. They'll all follow a pretty similar format. Please let me know what you think and if I can get perms to start posting. ------------ *[EMBEDED PLAYER]* *Episode Permalink: https://soundcloud.com/chris-ward-908424795/flock-stories-redon-skikuli <https://soundcloud.com/chris-ward-908424795/flock-stories-redon-skikuli>* Redon Skikuli Free open source culture & copyleft reformer in the Balkans.

[Request to review] Fedora-Hubs : Getting Started
by Devyani Kota 06 Sep '16

06 Sep '16

Hi all, I have been contributing to hubs for some time now and was helping out new contributors recently. En route I found that many new contributors are facing some trivial issues while setting up the Hubs environment, so I have drafted a post[1] explaining what Hubs is, giving an in-depth idea how one can start contributing to hubs and widgets. Also, explanation of a few known issues which might crawl up when one is setting up Hubs. [1] https://fedoramagazine.org/fedora-hubs-getting-started <https://fedoramagazine.org//>/ Thanking You, Devyani Kota -- [image: --] Devyani Kota [image: https://]about.me/devyanikota <http://t.sidekickopen63.com/e1t/c/5/f18dQhb0S7lC8dDMPbW2n0x6l2B9nMJW7t5XZs1…>

2013 study into open source contributor communities
by Justin W. Flory 04 Sep '16

04 Sep '16

Hey all, An interesting link I found earlier over the weekend about what seems to be an on-going research report / analysis into open source communities, their demographics, and more. A report on the data is in progress, but for now, a copy of the questionnaire used is available along with dumps of the raw dataset for importing into R or LimeSurvey. Thought this could be a useful asset or tool for later learning. :) http://floss2013.libresoft.es/results.en.html -- Cheers, Justin W. Flory jflory7(a)gmail.com
