My thoughts on the matter is that surveys should be conducted at specific intervals, such as 3 months or at 6 months (releases). Polls on the other hand, as stated should be for instant opinion. These we can do ad-hoc as needed, such as if we recognize a particular issue with a software package or a particular approach we would like to take. > > Now, it is clear that there is no guarantees on how many people will go > through the full survey, and that unless we get at least a hundred > responses, it will not have much validity, but we won't know until we > try, won't we? > Agreed again. Part and parcel of doing something like this is ensuring that we as the sponsors of the survey effectively communicate to the community to participate. By that, I mean posting on the forums, the mailing-list (although I think everyone who reads it should know by now), I would add that we should also get it onto planet, fridge and the newsletter.

I think we might be confusing targets. Short polls are a great tool to get instant opinions on a specific feature or question. A survey is however not a poll. A survey is a way to get a picture on where you are at and where you could/should go. Both tools have their uses, but are quite different... Now, it is clear that there is no guarantees on how many people will go through the full survey, and that unless we get at least a hundred responses, it will not have much validity, but we won't know until we try, won't we? On the other hand, I do think that we need to restrain ourselves on the time it takes to answer the questions and one thing I am hoping to get from the tester is how long it took them to complete it and whether they think it is too long or not. When looking at the current 37 questions, remember that a lot of them are conditional, so the perceived time might not be directly proportional to the number of questions. Also note that LimeSurvey has a very convenient way to save a halfway completed Survey so that one is not forced to complete it all in one shot.

What if we were to release a poll every month or so, that is, get people in the habit of answering no more than say seven questions and reporting back two weeks later with the results? Rinse and repeat with different questions. Ultimately I think we're trying to build a picture of our audience that helps the evolution of Ubuntu-server. Making a poll every month would in total allow us to generate 42 different questions between releases. We could start off with getting an idea of what needs the most attention, then evolving questions to address the needs. We can even use the poll to ask what question to ask next month. The image I have is that we are building a customer base that is engaged in the process of evolving the product they use, that is, making it better for what they need. -- Onno Benschop Connected via Optus B3 at S31°54'06" - E115°50'39" (Yokine, WA) -- ()/)/)()..ASCII for Onno.. |>>?..EBCDIC for Onno.. --- -. -. --- ..Morse for Onno..

This survey took my interest, however I was wondering would it be worth considering the storage configuration of the servers? Perhaps it's not your objective but I personally would be interested in facts such as how much disk space the servers have attached, type of storage attached (although it's probably fair to assume that high end HP systems etc use SCSI and low end SATA so maybe that's just splitting hairs), the type of filesystem and whether hard or software raid is being employed (if at all).

A very dear friend of mine, working at a french statistical institute, will take a look at it for us, so I guess we will be covered on that side. I have now set up a test limesurvey site, where I have entered all the questions and condition. It looks good apart from a small conditional bug in LimeSurvey that I am trying to track. Help will be appreciated to test it once this is fixed. I'll let you know.

Which could mean dropping the architecture specification from next to the examples, as different vendors ship multiple cpu archs (or have done in the past). From the list, these vendors have shipped/do ship multiple arch's ubuntu will run on: HP - IA36, AMD64, IA64 (unoffical port though) IBM - IA36, AMD64, PowerPC, POWER (uses PPC packages mostly) Sun - AMD64, UltraSPARC > kk > > Michael > -- Karl Goetz, Debian user / Ubuntu contributor / gNewSense contributor http://www.kgoetz.id.au signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part -- ubuntu-server mailing list ubuntu-server@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-server More info: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ServerTeam

To use the previous example, if we know from the survey that 50% of the respondents are using HP/Compaq based servers, we can then look at applying specific resources to ensuring those platforms get well supported by all of our various means. The flipside of that is that with hard data, we also have opportunities to leverage (god I hate buzz words) support from those vendors (i.e. like dell has done for laptops). In particular, we are interested in the server class environment for obvious reasons.

That is, the original question was in a round-about kind of way asking about brands and presumably coverage within those brands to see if something falls out of the bottom, that is perhaps we'll see something like: "We know that 50% of our servers are run on HP hardware." The path Dave is taking is one of CPU/architecture. They're two different kinds of questions. I should also point out that more questions isn't always better.

We have agreed to join forces as it makes little sense for us to be competing to get the same data, which all of us will derive value from. The poll is currently neutral , in that it does reference vendors to a certain degree, however it does not give any preference to any one particular vendor. As example we ask questions about what types of hardware people are running Server Edition on (Dell, HP/Compaq, etc). Nick kindly setup a wiki page for he & I (and others) to comment on and look at it as it progresses. Nick has also suggested a much more flexible polling software which will allow us to yield a greater diversity of questions we would like to ask. The wiki page is located at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ServerTeam/Survey Nick and I will continue to collaborate on this and report back to the Server Team at the next meeting with additional details.

This is an excellent idea on which I have been working a bit. I propose that we join forces on defining the questions by setting up a wiki for it [1].
