Sean,

For this purpose, I can publish the copy pasted result tables without the
backend tables.
I'll try to move that to google doc, so that users can decide what they
want to do with the data.

With regard to allowing dynamic queries on the data, to avoid the problem
that Tim was mentionning, this would have to be restricted to public
deployments.

I think the results of the User survey in aggregate is extremely useful
to the OpenStack. I worry about folks trying to data mine the details on
one specific vendor or slice isn't actually useful to the OpenStack
community, only that one vendor, and might discourage future
participation by organizations (because they don't want to be data
mined), and thus doing a diservice to the OpenStack community.

I'd just like the numbers behind the graphs that were provided so I can
make pie charts that color match my slide templates. :) That in a json
file would be more than sufficient for my needs.

My worry if we allow general user queries would be to find ways to
ensure anonymity. For example, if I was to search for a company
based on south America in e-commerce and I was to get only one match, I
could then determine their configuration.

Do the tools being suggested allow us to define a threshold (such as if
less than 4 responses, show insufficient data) to avoid
fishing for data on particular cases ?

Tim,

I was thinking that it would be more scalable if we have the database
exposed in real time, after scrubbing, through something
like
Tableau.
Everyone will want to look at some specific aspects.
Also, there should be a policy for the publication and use of the
data, even the public ones.

I'm trying to put together a document which will give the aggregated
data in spreadsheets and address queries such as
Hypervisors/Deployments. My target is in the next few weeks if the day
job is quiet.

As regards the organisation names, there are some additional checks
that the user committee and foundation need to perform to validate the
information can *really* be made public. This will take significantly
longer.

Subject: [User-committee] Details of public survey results

Hi,

I was wondering if there was any way to view more detailed
information from the user survey results which have been marked as
public?

We're interested in a number of sub-sets of the statistics presented,
for example if you focus on the hypervisor we would be
interested in
the distribution of deployed hypervisors on production vs PoC
deployments, statistics on multiple hypervisors deployments, or the
scales of
the deployments using the different hypervisors.

We're also interested in how the users of particular features map on
to the organisations who have agreed to make their profile
public -
for example, Citrix would be interested in which of the organisations
on http://www.openstack.org/user-stories/ were using Xen or
XenServer
in their deployment.  Is there a plan to make a subset of the survey
information public where this was agreed to when
the
survey was filled in?

Many thanks,

Bob
