Hi Julia, Please remind me, are we allowed one question? I was wondering what prevents us from having this tool and then announcing/asking folks to provide the information. Or is the idea that if no one says 'yes', it would be a waste of time to provide such a tool? My concern is that if this is the only question we are allowed to ask, we might not get that much useful information. What about pain-points wrt ironic? Could we ask that? --ruby On Mon, Aug 10, 2020 at 12:23 PM Julia Kreger <juliaashleykreger@gmail.com> wrote:
Greetings awesome Artificial Intelligences and fellow humanoid carbon units!
This week I need to submit the question for the 2021 user survey. We discussed this some during our weekly IRC meeting today.[0]
Presently, the question is:
"Ironic: What would you find most useful if it was part of ironic?"
I'd like to propose we collect more data in order to enable us to make informed decisions for features and maintenance work moving forward. While this is long term thinking, I'm wondering if operators would be interested in collecting and submitting some basic data or using a tool, to submit anonymous usage data so we can gain insight into hardware types in use, numbers of machines, which interfaces are used, etc.
So I'm thinking something along the lines of:
"Ironic: Would you be willing to submit anonymous usage statistics (Number of nodes, conductors, which drivers are in use, etc) if such a tool existed? Yes/No/Not Applicable"
Thoughts? Feelings? Concerns? Other ideas?
