Joe. I really don't think that we're going to get a decent response if this comes from an individual. It needs to come from a known organisation, who will commit to data protection,etc if we're going to get organisations to respond
I'm happy with the logistics of creating a "community" SM account and doing this entirely on behalf of the community, but it needs to come from Therefore, is the community happy to use this as a head: "CloudStack User survey May 2013 CONFIDENTIALITY. This data is being collected by the Apache Cloudstack community. The data will be used to form an anonymous summary of Cloudstack usage and adoption and will not be used for any other marketing or business purposes. If possible, we would like to encourage organisations to be public about their use of Apache CloudStack and we therefore ask, at question 1, if you would agree to the Apache CloudStack community using your organisations name in marketing material,etc" My fears are that we may get into data protection legislation ,etc with ASF and have a whole long debate on that which exactly the reason that I offered ShapeBlue "carrying the paper": we are DPA registered, etc and can circumnavigate that If we go the route of it officially coming from the community - Who would be able to give clearance to do such a thing ? I think we *have* to get company name,etc. We need it to know whos responded, to avoid duplicates and also we need to cross match against other,known, users Kind Regards Giles D: +44 20 3603 0541 | M: +44 796 111 2055 [email protected] -----Original Message----- From: Joe Brockmeier [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: 29 May 2013 17:44 To: [email protected] Subject: Re: cloudstack survey [discuss] On Wed, May 29, 2013, at 10:58 AM, Giles Sirett wrote: > Joe thanks for feedback > > *somebody* has to collect the data.

If we want to say something like "derivative" of CloudStack, that's more accurate. (There's probably a nicer-sounding word than "derivative" that would work here, but it's not coming to me at the moment.)
