[openstack-community] [ptls] [user survey] User Survey Privacy
Hi PTLs! A recent question came up regarding public sharing of the Project-Specific feedback questions on the OpenStack User Survey. The short answer is... this is a great idea! This information is meant to help projects improve and the information is not meant to be kept secret. Oddly enough, nobody asked before lbragstad, so thanks for asking! The long answer... I would like to add a little bit of background on the user survey and how we treat the data. Part of the agreement we make with users that fill out the User Survey is we will keep their data anonymized. As a result, when we publish data on the website[1] we ensure the user can see data from no fewer than 10 companies at a time. Additionally, the User Committee, who helps with the data analysis, sign an NDA before reviewing any data, which helps to preserve user privacy. All that said, the questions for PTLs are framed as "Project Feedback", so the expectation and hope is that PTLs will not only use it to improve their projects, but will also share it amongst other relevant projects. As excited as we are to have you share this data with the community, we do want to make sure there is nothing that would reveal the identity of the survey taker. We've already vetted the English content, but we are still waiting on translations to finish up. So, if you decide to share the data publicly, please only share the English content for the time being. Feel free to reference this email or hit us up on the user-committee@lists.openstack.org <mailto:user-committee@lists.openstack.org> Beyond that, we encourage you to follow in Keystone's footsteps and share this feedback with the mailing list, at the PTG, or even with a buddy. We hope it's valuable to your project and the community at large! Net: PTLs, please share the project feedback publicly (e.g. on the mailing lists) now (with the above caveats).
