[sakai2-tcc] Community building survey/ideas

[Neal Caidin]

Hi TCC,

I'm starting to think about a Community survey for perhaps our last survey of the year, exact timing TBD.

Some initial thoughts on survey goals:

1) Community building - getting people talking with each other and sharing ideas. Interviews with folks working on interesting Sakai-related projects (as one example)?

2) Encouraging community participation - Making visible areas of need and figuring out how we can do a better job to encourage participation, "lowering bars" to participation.

3) Identify areas of education / knowledge desired by community to better participate - Jira training? QA training?

4) Finding out the ways the community likes to be communicated with. what are their communication needs, frequency and delivery.


Any additional thoughts are welcome. I can come up with sample questions if it will help visualize. The nutshell is get more community engagement, discussion, and energy, and perhaps make some conversations that happen on email a little more visible and interactive. Or even perhaps make some of the great people resources we have more visible to the community. That kind of thing.

Sakaiger TV on Google Hangout?

BTW, some TCC members suggested I start a blog. While I have never blogged, and so am a bit uncomfortable about it, I think it could be a good idea to provide regular community overviews, so hopefully that will be another communications channel. Just need to kick myself in the pants to get started.

Cheers,
Neal
