Hello again, wonderful D&I folks.
I have been experimenting with a self-hosted tool for conducting surveys
and collecting feedback/reviews, and things are looking pretty decent.
I'd love to get some feedback from the people on this list, so that we
can perhaps decide on using this tool or not and discuss some basic
premises for conducting surveys in the future.
You can try a survey demo here:
https://surveys.diversity.apache.org/s/wcee4v8ygw8q0pih0nflnxl1
Those of you on the D&I committee[1] who wants to try their hands at the
behind-the-scenes work with surveys can let me know (private or this
list), and I'll set you up with access to manage surveys yourselves.
This will also allow you to see the results of surveys in various ways.
I have built a template for our surveys that comes with a standard
introduction and a data consent form at the very end; you should be able
to see that in the survey demo I linked to. I had the wording in the
template refined by our resident "editor-in-chief", Andrew Wetmore, but
things can always be improved upon further, so do not hesitate to
suggest changes.
There isn't a whole lot more to say, take the survey for a spin and see
if this survey tool fits the brief.
With regards,
Daniel.
[1] Access to survey administration is restricted to members of the D&I
committee for data privacy reasons; this is explained in more detail in
the survey itself.
