Hi there ... At last night's ubuntu-adverts meeting, I arranged an experimental survey for research. I hope some of you can consider helping with it.
First, find one or more willing volunteers from among friends. Volunteers need to be 'Ubuntu Virgins'. They are computer literate, but have no experience at all of any flavour of Linux. Give them a Maverick 10.10 LiveCD and ask them to run it and familiarise themselves with Ubuntu. After a week to ten days, arrange to interview them and make out a report. There are no specific questions; just ask them how things went, and report back on their findings, what problems they found, and what they would have liked to do but were unable to find a way of doing it. Note their overall impression and whether they would consider moving to Ubuntu. Please give reasons for or against. The interview needs to be conducted with great sensitivity and a good listening ear. If all goes well, you should hardly need to say anything; just listen! I have placed an etherpad at: http://openetherpad.org/cZDc393hcW for feedback and comments. Please consider helping with this. If you are in contact with other locos/groups, you might care to forward this to them. Kind regards, Barry. -- Barry Drake is a member of the the Ubuntu Advertising team. http://ubuntuadverts.org/ -- ubuntu-uk@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UKTeam/
