| kevouze | Hi everyone, | 19:52 |
| kevouze | I am currently running a survey about new contributor experience in the following projects: Debian, GNOME, Gentoo, KDE, Mozilla, Ubuntu, NetBSD, or OpenSUSE. | 19:52 |
| kevouze | I have been talking to Daniel Holbach and Bhavani Shankar, who are supportive of the project. | 19:52 |
| kevouze | Bhavani recommended me to talk to you here to ask you whether you can help advertise the survey. | 19:52 |
| holstein | kevouze: can you hang here? it should be easy to get that linked as news | 19:54 |
| kevouze | that'd be nice. | 19:55 |
| kevouze | I can also write some post if you want. I'd be happy to do that. Or else I have a number of posts online already. | 19:55 |
| holstein | kevouze: cool! that is helpful! | 20:00 |
| kevouze | Shall I write a post and send it? or do you want the list of the other posts? I guess, a specific post for Ubuntu shall be more efficient | 20:01 |
| holstein | kevouze: i would hang here til you catch pleia2 or one of the other higherups | 20:08 |
| holstein | kevouze: you can check the topic though and add it in if you'd like | 20:08 |
| kevouze | ok, shall I send a message on the news ml also? | 20:10 |
| holstein | kevouze: sure | 20:10 |
| kevouze | I have also talked to Jono about it, he knows about the project | 20:11 |
| holstein | kevouze: thanks for being willing to write it up | 20:13 |
| kevouze | happy to do anything that would help out. this is my final PhD survey, 3 years of work! :) | 20:13 |
| holstein | congrats! | 20:13 |
| kevouze | let's wait until I get the results! Still a bit stressed out to get enoufg responses. | 20:14 |
| kevouze | holstein, question. If I attach the post to the email to news ml, will people get the attached document? | 20:54 |
| kevouze | Hi, I have just sent an email to the ubuntu news ml asking to help out, but the email was rejected | 21:14 |
| pleia2 | kevouze: can you just send a link to the mailing list? We'll review for inclusion it in the Ubuntu Weekly Newsletter :) | 23:16 |
| pleia2 | (not an attachment) | 23:16 |
| kevouze | thanks! you mean link to the survey or the blog post for Ubuntu? | 23:18 |
| pleia2 | kevouze: do you have a blog where you posted the survey? | 23:20 |
| kevouze | yes, http://kevincarillo.org/survey-invitation/ | 23:21 |
| kevouze | I have also a blog post ready for you about how the survey will help Ubuntu, if you think it could be posted | 23:21 |
| pleia2 | great, I'll just include this link :) no need to email | 23:21 |
| kevouze | thanks! | 23:21 |
| kevouze | any chance to mention the survey on the g+/facebook ubuntu pages? any help will be super welcome | 23:22 |
| pleia2 | we don't handle the Ubuntu accounts there, you'll need to talk to dholbach (someone on the Canonical community team has access, not sure who) | 23:26 |
| pleia2 | he would know though :) | 23:26 |
| kevouze | ok, he knows already about the project and is supportive. I am sure he is overwhelmed with his post-UDS email backlog :) | 23:31 |
| kevouze | Thanks for your help, pleia2! | 23:31 |
| pleia2 | sure, good luck with your survey | 23:32 |
| pleia2 | (and retweeted personally) | 23:33 |
| kevouze | thanks, appreciated. | 23:34 |
| kevouze | fingers crossed. | 23:34 |
| kevouze | do you have any other suggestion to help spread the word within Ubuntu? | 23:35 |
| pleia2 | might contact one of the ubuntu news sites, ubuntuvibes, omgubuntu.co.uk, muktware.com... | 23:39 |
| pleia2 | or all of them :) | 23:39 |
| kevouze | thanks, will do right now. | 23:46 |
| kevouze | can I mention you in the emails? | 23:46 |
