FUDCon 2009 Survey Results - Draft, requesting feedback

[Robyn Bergeron]

Hello Marketing Crew :)

I have dumped the results from the FUDCon survey into an .odp file.

https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/File:FUDCon-2009-survey-draft.odp

If anyone would like to take a peek at it before it is finalized (I
always love a fresh pair of eyeballs), please do so - if you have any
commentary / editorial / otherwise feedback, please send it to the
list.

Thanks!

-Robyn

Some things that I noticed, in completely unscientific terms: :-)

* Need more respondents! :-)  With our own survey facility we can
  definitely have surveys ready in advance, so this is fixable IMHO.
  We could even have a survey that's divided between tech-sessions and
  hackfests (or more), to be more timely and accurate.

* Location tends to be fairly important to most people.

* The proceedings in general are more important to people than FUDPub,
  although FUDPub is fairly important to most people.

* Despite the cold, plenty of people enjoyed the Toronto location.

* Both the tech-sessions and the hackfest "satisfaction" responses
  correlated well with the "importance" responses.

* People rejected Google Wave 2-to-1 as a technology for FUDCon use.
  Gobby and other whiteboarding software were considered much more
  palatable.

* One point I think that deserves attention in the written
  suggestions: "Post readable/usable slides."  I saw some slide decks
  that were excellent, and some that really weren't, for people
  looking at them later.  Perhaps we could provide tips and resources
  for people to make better slide decks for their talks in the future.

EtherPad might be a good option too! It got open sourced after the
survey went out hehe

First I have to said that the document is a great work.

I may suggest that in future to avoid 5 options, some people tend to
use the choice in the middle just to move on.

I saw some comments underestimating physical closeness to a Red Hat
facility. That sound from user point of view, probably will be nice to
check with people organizing.

The pie charts for Fudcon live included "no awser" which make
percentage look a bit distorted. Probably better to left out next
time, this is more like a style remark.

Choosing technology for fudcon live get a lot of responses "Not
familiar". Probably it will be needed to use those technologies in
some more normal meeting, so people start to get familiar, give a real
try and be able to respond... or easier just take those who are
already showing preference.

I did not took the survey, as I did not participate. Mainly because I
was not aware that there was that much effort to make remote
participation available (which was stated on some comments) and also,
because I was not aware that inputs from non participating people were
useful for the survey.

Thanks for taking the work of putting all info together and make easy
to review for lazy people like me

Best regards

This is excellent!

This is a minor nit, but one I think makes the presentation 
clearer--using bar charts instead of pie charts.
