Re: [ubuntu-uk] Canonical Design Team looking for London based volunteers..
Hi All My name's Iain and I'm the project manager on the design team here in London. Thought I'd try to address any concerns that people have about the way that we've approached this testing and it being London based. The design team is unusual in Canonical in that we're almost all based out of the London office. Many members of the other teams are located all over the world but a co-located team works well for a team collaborating on visual work and while we're new and establishing working practices it makes sense for us to conduct testing locally to us so we can meet and sit with the users. We promise we're not ignoring the rest of the UK or world at large and while we're only starting here London is one of the most cosmopolitan cities in the world and when we do look for participants we tend to get a mix of people from all over. Our aim for the future is to set up a way for people to apply to us to be kept on a list of potential users for testing. From the answers to a questionnaire we'll know more about what you use Ubuntu for and where you might be a good fit when we user test. We'll also look into ways of conducting remote testing so people who can't make it into one of our offices can take part. The results of this and other testing will be published online and no doubt myself and other members of the team will blog about it. If you have any questions about this or any of the work the design team is doing just drop me a line! atb, Iain Chris Rowson wrote: > To be fair, I think people might be making a little too much of the > testing only happening in London.

To be fair, I think people might be making a little too much of the testing only happening in London. I guess it's simply because that's where Canonical is. P.S - I'm not biased, I live a couple of hundred miles away from London ;-) Chris -- ubuntu-uk@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UKTeam/

I don't remember anything about "I am what I am because of where we all are" in the "Ubuntu" translation hmmm bit dodgy, methinks... Canonical going against the ethos of "Ubuntu"? Sean -- ubuntu-uk@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UKTeam/
