Hi there, My name is Bernard Tyers, I'm a UX designer (User Experience, usability, UI design), ex-engineer and licensed amateur operator.
I've recently started contributing to GNU Radio, specifically GNU Radio Companion, after a call for UX contributions at FOSDEM this year. In order to do good user-centred design, it's important to talk with and understand users! To do that I've created a GNU Radio UX Studies group, and encourage you to sign-up. You can sign up here: https://bit.ly/gnu-radio-ux-studies-sign-up You'll be able to decide what UX Studies you're interested in taking part in - usability testing new designs, remote surveys, user interviews, and others. (For the moment they're all remote.) We're looking for as diverse a group as possible - you _don't_ have to be a GNU Radio expert, a DSP or an RF expert to take part. I can't stress this enough! Amateur radio operators, academic researchers, professional RF engineers, educators, and anyone else who uses GNU Radio are all invited to sign-up. Everyone's input is useful as it helps inform design decisions. Your input will have a direct impact on improving GNU Radio. If you have questions you can find details on the wiki: https://wiki.gnuradio.org/index.php/GNU_Radio_UX_Studies_group In order to reach as wide an audience as possible, I'd appreciate if you could tell 3-4 people who you know use GNU Radio about my request. You can forward this mail, or share these 2 links with them: - https://bit.ly/gnu-radio-ux-studies-sign-up - https://wiki.gnuradio.org/index.php/GNU_Radio_UX_Studies_group If you're a Twitter/Mastodon user I'd appreciate a signal boost of these also: https://twitter.com/bernardtyers/status/1382425390652784640 https://social.ei8fdb.org/@bernat/106065466329564273 If you've got questions, please let me know. Thank you for your attention! Best wishes, Bernard --- Bernard Tyers Twitter: @bernardtyers PGP Key: keybase.io/ei8fdb I work on User-Centred Design, Open Source Software and Privacy.
