Open Stack

Lauren – I’ll look for some examples for questions #5 and #6 and send along.

Do you have an idea of when we’ll have access to the survey data? Ideally before Tokyo.
Thanks
Carol

Hi everyone,

I set up the survey in surveymonkey based on the draft from the diversity working group.

Please review and provide any feedback before the Foundation staff helps distribute the survey this week:

https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/?sm=Ju6YvZHHMOt%2bqvcrDczCC7KJ%2fy6YDf4koT9sM2cSqZ2ggvm1U7uH8CErqYzXNfKmlbDNU0gMLsP8ej5qguQyzWmuGzgO%2baI5VynQViJRCdI%3d

A couple of comments:
- I did not include the question asking respondents to specify Technical Committee / Board / Foundation Staff, because it would be too easy to tie answers back to a specific person (i.e. there is one woman on the technical committee and one person who lives in Ireland on the board). Happy to discuss further, but if we want to do something along these lines, perhaps we just say just ask whether or not they are an ATC?
- I went ahead and aligned the responses to the gender question #4 with how we’ve historically gathered that data
- I think questions #5 and 6 could also benefit from structured responses to help analyze the data, but I’m not sure where to get a “standard” list. Of course, we would provide the options “prefer not to say” and “let me tell you”
- I took a stab at adding some reference points for question #9, but am open to feedback here. The 1-10 response seemed pretty subjective

Finally, what do you think about including some kind of satisfaction question, such as how satisfied / included / influential they feel working in the community? It might be interesting to correlate that feedback with the data.

Ideally, we’d like to lock and begin promoting the survey in the next two days, because the diversity working group wants to gather responses around October 14th.

Thanks,
Lauren

I'm actually interested in subjective answers to this question. That is:

Does the respondent feel that they are (not) engaged?

Having said that, now that we're adopting a census-like approach, it makes sense to ask the respondent for more detail about their "position" in the community (ATC, PTL, TC etc). I will add those questions, thanks for pushing me to it.

In addition to my previous feedback on the religion and educational
attainment, I would also recommend changing this question:

  "Please rate your level of engagement with, or participation in, the
   OpenStack community"

to avoid a 1-10 scale in the answer, since it's not grounded and is too
subjective (one person's 6 is another person's 9).

Instead I'd recommend anchoring the question in well-defined categories,
e.g. as suggested up-thread:

Involvement in OpenStack (tick all that apply):

 * do you hold an elected position in the governance structure of OpenStack?
   (Foundation board member, TC member, and/or PTL)

 * are you a core reviewer on an OpenStack project?

 * were you an Active Technical Contributor over the Liberty release cycle?

 * were you an Active Technical Contributor over any prior release cycle?

 * have you attended one or more OpenStack summits?

 * is working on OpenStack your fulltime job?
   (either in the community or in an internally-facing role)

 * ... etc.

Cheers,
Eoghan
