[Reminder - please stay on thread] RESULTS: On Tuesday this week I gave a talk at ApacheCON about a few key themes. One of those was a discussion of the recent Survey that I advertised here on dev.
https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/FINERACT/Survey+Results+-+2021+August <https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/FINERACT/Survey+Results+-+2021+August> A few key things jump out at me: (commentary). 1) We have a growing number of people who are here (nearly 30%) because of their workplace. They have been introduced to the project due to where they work. I believe this is a sign of a maturing project. Caveat: Since we did not ask this question before in exactly this way, we will need to ask it again in a year or two to find out if this is a real phenomena. 2) n = 41, which is exactly the number of Committers on the project. Coincidence?!? or a sign that we're getting a good sample of engaged people? Next time I will ask if respondents are Committers or members of PMC. 3) Despite not having a formal release out, fineractCN is being used in production, and (for obvious reasons) clearly forked by a fairly high percentage of respondents. While fineract1.x is still dominant, the use of FineractCN by 22% of respondents is super interesting. 4) Related, and a sign of a healthy community, about 50% of the respondents said that they would be interested in helping with fineractCN despite a lower percentage actually using it and knowing what changes it entails. That seems like a vote for Community! It also suggests a strategy: let's find out what those forks are doing, what domains, what features? [new thread to be started, related to Architecture working group ] 5) We asked where "your customers are located".... meaning if you are an integrator or working for one, where are your implementations. Africa region #1, Americas #2. See the results. Please feel free to comment here. Please stay on thread... i.e. it should be about what the survey is telling us, not some other thread.
