Hello my friends,

After Berlin, I was thinking something for Greek community but maybe it's better to go global.

Well, the guy at his talk said that we must take feedback from the end users since developers just create their software without asking the needs of the end user.

Since the meaning of selling isn't that the seller convienced the buyer

but the seller covered buyer's needs, I was thinking to create a form that we can print and have with us at the events (simple paper). Some questions about our product or some general questions about GNU/Linux (replies yes/no).

Maybe that way we can help our developers to make a better product. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-marketing+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-marketing+help@opensuse.org Yes from me Here some questions I thought yesterday. It was hot and I couldn't sleep. I don't know right now what results we could get from them but some more experienced than me, can figure out.

* What OS do you use? Windows/MAC/GNU-Linux/Other * what type of pc do you have? (desktop/laptop/tablet/mac) * what is your education? * what is your profession? * where do you use computer/linux? (profession or home) * what distro do you use? * what GUI do you use? * what was your first distro ever? (distro that helped you learn about GNU/Linux) * Why did you change your first distro? (if change) * since when do you use linux (or how many years)? * Have you ever used SUSE or openSUSE in the past? What were the reasons you stopped using it? * what do you like best in your distro? * what is annoyng with your distro? * what do you expect to see from your distro? or generally in linux? * you want to get things/software from different distros..... * Do you know anything about SUSE and openSUSE? * what did you like best with your contact with people in openSUSE? * what do you think that people of openSUSE must change? * what do you think that people of all distros must change? (I thought this question especially for Greece). * do you use forum/irc/ML/wiki to find help? * do you like to read? * do you read tech magazines or get information from the net? * do you know any programming language? * are you member of a project? * do you play games? internet games? * what colour do you like? (for our artwork team) * what shape do you like? (angles/circle etc for the artwork team) Jos, since you're Psychologist, you can think more questions like the last 2 about our distro.

Hello,

I created a file. Please take a look and tell some ideas.

http://dl.dropbox.com/u/8327991/openSUSE_marketing_survey_draft_v1.odt

I'll try to analyze what I think.

I have some questions about the person, others about the distro(s) and 
about community.
Unfortunately I couldn't find questions that can be answered like YES/NO.

Here we go:

Personal: * Those questions show the ID of the user (or developer if he 
uses a programming language).
1. What OS do you use? Windows/MAC/GNU-Linux/Other
2. What type of pc do you have? Desktop/laptop/tablet

* This question shows where we must focus. Maybe create an openSUSE 
version for tablets (remember guys I'm Vet. I don't know if we can 
create something like this).

3. Where do you use computer/linux? Profession/home
4. a. Do you know any programming language?
    b. Are you member of a project?

Distro
5. a. What was your first distro ever?
     b. Why did you change your first distro?

* Here we learn the first distro and the problem that the user had and 
changed. Difficult installation procedure? Difficult environment? No 
help? If this is software problem, our developers can fix it. If it's 
community problem, our community can be organized better.
Maybe we must also learn what GUI he/she started.


6. What do you use now?       What GUI?

* If the user came back to GNU/Linux, what he/she uses now and what GUI.


7. a. Have you ever used SUSE or openSUSE in the past? YES/NO - 
SUSE/openSUSE
     b. What were the reasons you stopped using it?

* In Greece, lot of people told us: My first distro was SUSE 6.0 but I 
had a problem using it and I turned to windows (or other distro). So we 
must find the problem. If the problem doesn't excist any more, it's a 
success for us. If it is and maybe developers cannot see it, then we 
must check it.
Lately I've heard that it's difficult for the user to SEE the next 
button on the bottom right corner. I guess the user installed (k)ubuntu 
where the Next button it under the installation information.


8. How many years do you use GNU/Linux?

* Check if the user is advanced or not. Maybe this can go under personal 
questions.

9. what do you like best in your distro?

* Developers can see what people like best and maybe try to create 
something similar (or better) to our distro.

10. Combine pros from other distros you want to use

* It's the same question but the user here can say also what he/she 
likes from other distros (and dislike on the one he/she uses).

Community
11. Do you use forum/irc/ML/wiki/personal contact to find help?

* This shows where the user asks questions and gets answers. This way 
the local communities can focus on that channel of communication.

12. What did you like best with your contact with openSUSE people?
13. What do you think that people of openSUSE must change?

* The above 2 questions are to improve the ambassador's behaviour with 
the people. It's not mandatory but I propose the ambassadors (marketing 
people) to read books about communicating with people. It's not only 
about technical questions. We can find answers to those questions to our 
wiki. But the interaction with people is another story.

That's all I'm thinking right now. I hope you're not mad at me (Henne ;-) )
Thanks for reading.
Have a lot of fun
Stathis

PS: We must find the right questions for the lessons we must learn and 
then use our community tools to check the results.

3. Where do you use computer/linux? Profession/home 4. a. Do you know any programming language? b. Are you member of a project? How about getting rid of 4a and changing 4b to, what is blocking you from being a member of a project?

...

Distro 5. a. What was your first distro ever? b. Why did you change your first distro? Add the word 'from' * Here we learn the first distro and the problem that the user had and changed. Difficult installation procedure? Difficult environment? No help? If this is software problem, our developers can fix it. If it's community problem, our community can be organized better. Maybe we must also learn what GUI he/she started.

6. What do you use now? What GUI?

Switch What for Which ?

...

* If the user came back to GNU/Linux, what he/she uses now and what GUI.

7. a. Have you ever used SUSE or openSUSE in the past? YES/NO - SUSE/openSUSE b. What were the reasons you stopped using it?

...

* Check if the user is advanced or not. Maybe this can go under personal questions.

Forgive me for delay. It's exam period here and I'm on fire... OK. Done. Check the new file: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/8327991/openSUSE_marketing_survey_draft_v2.odt Please let me know if it's better to change the other option questions to check box.
