[opensuse-marketing] Some ideas about People of openSUSE
Hi, I love the concept behind the people of openSUSE project and it immediately got my attention to help revive it, but in my first try to interview new members I noticed two things: 1. The name of the project "People of openSUSE". 2. The Q/A format, in general, feels like a job interview. The idea's to tell stories of people who once contributed to openSUSE, the human behind that username. Based on that, I'd like to stay away as far as we could from the job interview feel, it's obviously not that community friendly nor comfortable, so I've a proposal for each point: 1. Change the name of the project to "Humans of openSUSE". 2. Replace interviewer/interviewee format by storytelling/autobiography style (that basically covers the same agenda) which leaves more space for creativity and personality touch, if you're concerned about the practicality of this I can maybe make a test story with someone.

I'm very concerned that this will be super awesome! ;-) I found that "fill out this form" style also awkward, from the reader but also from the subject perspective.

Hi, first of all, thanks for reviving this thing! I'd really appreciate more community news on news-o-o instead of "just" release notes.
1. Change the name of the project to "Humans of openSUSE".
That sounds good to me. Another approach would be pointing out more to all the community members. Fedora is doing that by calling their series "How do you Fedora?" which is really good. https://fedoramagazine.org/series/how-do-you-fedora/
2. Replace interviewer/interviewee format by storytelling/autobiography style (that basically covers the same agenda) which leaves more space for creativity and personality touch, if you're concerned about the practicality of this I can maybe make a test story with someone.
The final format not being an interview is fine for me. But don't expect people to write so much without giving them some sort of scaffolding. Two (similar) examples I would like to point out: https://usesthis.com https://linuxrig.com/the-linux-setup/ They are both interview style but I guess as inspiration for questions to use in the scaffolding mentioned above they are useful.
