Hi Bill,

Thank you for adding the contributor focused questions.

On the today’s call we’ve discussed the base idea being to have a high level user survey type of questionnaire that focuses on understanding the use case and motivation for companies who are planning to deploy or use an edge platform and ask their plans and current stage with StarlingX. Our motivation is to start building and growing the ecosystem around StarlingX and understand the market a little better as well.

When it comes to contributions we listed two options. We can either add a question or two to the above initial survey to see if a certain responder is also interested in contributing or we can run it as a separate survey.

If we can make it happen on the tooling side we could also consider showing deeper dive questions if someone says they are interested in contributing and not displaying those questions if that’s not a primary interest for them at this point.

In my view if we run a contribution focused survey we need to set the scope and decide what challenges we would like to get an answer to when we put together the questions. Like whether we would like to find roadblocks or bottlenecks that make it harder for people to join or learn which area they are interested in and if the latter what the next step is once we have the results and whether the survey is the best way to reach out to new contributors who are just getting started to help them.

What do others think or would be interested in learning about?

If you would like to participate in drafting the survey(s) please check out the etherpad and add comments and ideas!

Thanks,
Ildikó
