Re: Please share with your LoCos

2011-05-28 Thread Shahriar Tariq
Hi there,
I suppose you have already received few responses from Bangladeshi users
already.

Nevertheless Shabab Mustafa has translated the survey to local Bangla
language
https://www.spreadsheets.google.com/a/linux.org.bd/spreadsheet/viewform?formkey=dC1rQmd0QXlNdS01d0FOZWRYOElxS0E6MAndplr=1

I have few short questions though
How long the survey will be conducted?
Is there any definite deadline when the loco needs to submit their survey
feedback or when the survey finding will be made public?

it doesn't impose any non-free dependencies on the users, it is using 
software as a service as a communications tool (which is OK according to 
RMS and the FSF as long as you are not depending on it to perform your 
computational activities) it means that the results could end up being

I am sure launchpad or the loco directory teams would welcome

Hi Mackenzie,

I'd like to suggest to consider using LimeSurvey in the future for
similar surveys. It seems it would support other languages than
English-only and it's free software (added bonus).

Unfortunately the survey you propose will most likely only catch
English-speaking users which carries several implications, and excludes
an important part of Ubuntu users (IMO), specially those we'd most
likely want to hear from.

It's also not clear from the survey itself who is getting this data, how
it will be used and if/how it will be shared. Your email is a good
starting point but a bunch of members needs to be clarified. I get so
much feedback about what's wrong with Ubuntu that this is bound to get
expectations raised and generate even more questions.

I won't be forwarding this as I anticipate the questions and complaints
about it not being in French, Spanish or Creole (spoken in teams in
which I participate), and the other issues I mentioned, but I'd love to
help set this up and imporove the process for future surveys.

In fact forwarding a request to our corresponding teams for help setting
up LimeSurvey somewhere to test/use it would be ideal. Right now I can't
coordinate this but if someone organizes it I'll gladly pass the word
around my networks. If anyone on this list can get on it directly, even
better.

We could start looking what hosting companies support it:
http://docs.limesurvey.org/tiki-index.php?page=LimeSurvey-compatible+hosting+companies

In case someone can dedicate more time to this right now and convert the
existing survey to LimeSurvey, the few docs I read suggest the
GoogleDocs data can be imported into it fairly quickly so this could be
done in 3 steps:
- setup /test LimeSurvey
- Put a placeholder in the current survey
- migrate the data to it
- Redirect the current survey to the LimeSurvey one

Anyways, all this can be safely ignored, but looking forward I can't
focus on English users anymore and I believe other LocoTeams may have
reached that point too.

Cheers,

Fabian

 Hi Mackenzie,
 
 I'd like to suggest to consider using LimeSurvey in the future for
 similar surveys. It seems it would support other languages than
 English-only and it's free software (added bonus).

I don't personally have a server capable of handling much load (the smallest

 Unfortunately the survey you propose will most likely only catch
 English-speaking users which carries several implications, and excludes
 an important part of Ubuntu users (IMO), specially those we'd most
 likely want to hear from.

I'm asking for folks to send me translations of the strings (if you don't want 
to go through to find them, they're now on lp:~maco.m/+junk/survey ) so I can 
set up parallel surveys in other languages.

 It's also not clear from the survey itself who is getting this data, how
 it will be used and if/how it will be shared. Your email is a good
 starting point but a bunch of members needs to be clarified. I get so
 much feedback about what's wrong with Ubuntu that this is bound to get
 expectations raised and generate even more questions.

C. de Avillez and I are working on the analysis of it. The results will be 
made public.  At the moment, Kate Stewart and Jeremy Foshee also have access 
to the results since they expressed interest when I took it to the QA team's

Fabian,

While I do appreciate your personal stance on the matter of FLOSS I do
think it's extremely poor form to not pass it onto your loco team you
represent by being on this list if you are the contact for that team.  I
do appreciate the language barrier for some and as Mackenzie has pointed
out she is looking for translations.

I can see that some of the questions may point towards a more admin
style of user, but I think Mackenzie has done a great job and we as a
locoteams community should be helping rather than putting up blockades
to stop that from happening.

To be clear, I think people on this list who represent their locoteams
as the contact should be passing on information to their teams otherwise
how else will locoteams know what is going on out there in other
communities and survives like this can help gather much needed
information.  They should do this to be helpful and not base it on their
own beliefs or values in OSS.

 do appreciate the language barrier for some and as Mackenzie has pointed
 out she is looking for translations.

I think it's extremely poor form to call out a LoCo contact for not
passing on a survey which was thrown together without any thought for
the non-English community and without any information on how the results
will be shared or used.  Especially after that contact has reviewed the
survey and determined his local community won't be able to understand
the survey and does not reach the users the loco is reaching out to.
That's the LoCo contact's entire job.

 I can see that some of the questions may point towards a more admin
 style of user, but I think Mackenzie has done a great job and we as a
 locoteams community should be helping rather than putting up blockades
 to stop that from happening.

Why would you want to poison the English-language survey with results
from users who can't understand it?  Why would you want LoCos to push an
English and a localized survey resulting in incomplete and double-votes?
Why do you have such little respect for Mackenzie that you're trying to
pressure LoCo contacts into using the English survey instead of allowing
them to follow through on the localization assistance they have
volunteered?

 To be clear, I think people on this list who represent their locoteams
 as the contact should be passing on information to their teams otherwise
 how else will locoteams know what is going on out there in other
 communities and survives like this can help gather much needed
 information.  They should do this to be helpful and not base it on their
 own beliefs or values in OSS.

I don't think what you're suggesting is helpful at all.  I think it's
destructive to the surveys and counterproductive to the expressed
localization efforts.

Survey passed on to ubuntu-za mailing list. I'll do a call there too to see
if there are translations available.

I'm forwarding this to the Australian Team, it looks very handy. The other
aspect I'd like considered though is giving a bit more detail on who is
collecting the data and how it will be used. The comment on a bunch of
members of the community doesn't really give much information on the topic
and I'm always a bit reserved about just giving unspecified people
unspecified access to data collected, no matter how identifying it can be. I
don't expect a massive long list of everyone and everything, but is there a
link to the project that spawned this idea so interested people can look
into it further?
