Hi Folks,
I wanted to let you know that I've completed the vendor vetting process [1] to
find someone to work with for our contributor survey and user experience
research. The company we've selected is Bitergia, and they have submitted a
Statement of Work that I will refine with them before starting work.
I'd like to invite anyone in the committee interested in being part of this
project to join us, Ideally, we would have one volunteer to lead work around
the contributor survey, so I can focus on the user experience research, which
will connect with our Outreachy internships.
In addition to the survey and the user experience research, they will also do
an analysis of data coming from our platforms measuring contributor experience
such as GitHub, Jira, etc. This part need refinement since we need to work with
our infra team and our V.P. of data privacy. I'd love to also get a volunteer
to help us with this.
What does "contributor experience" mean in this context, and how/why
would infra need be involved? On the face of it, it just sounds like
scanning our repos and ticket trackers for data, which we have plenty of
services doing already - I wouldn't want us to re-invent the wheel here
if we can avoid it.
In summary, it's time to get work started and we need 2 volunteers, one to lead
the survey work and one to work with Bitergia to analyze data from our activity
tracking platforms.
Thank you!
Gris
