Hi all,
We conduct yearly user surveys to better under how our users utilize Ceph.
The Ceph Foundation collects the data under the Community Data License
agreement [0]; which helps the community make more of an informed decision
of where our efforts in the development of future releases should go.
Back in August, I asked for the community to help draft the next survey
[1]. I'm happy to provide a draft of the user survey for 2019. I'm sending
this to the dev list in hopes of getting feedback before sending it to the
Ceph users list.
The first question I received was using something other than Survey monkey
due to it not being available in some regions. I have been using another
third-party service for our Ceph Days CFP forms, and luckily they offer a
survey service that isn't blocked.
A second question that came up was how to layout questions for multiple
cluster deployments. An idea I had was having our general Ceph user survey
[2] separate from the deployment questions [3]. The general questions only
need to be answered once, and the deployment survey can be answered
multiple times to capture the different configurations. I'm looking into a
way to link the answers of both surveys together.
Any feedback, corrections or ideas?
