Discussion

  • OSS & Promotion deck status check

    • PowerPoint editorial improvement work status(Walt)

    • If it’s OK, let’s post it to AB ML for the 2 weeks review until 23 June (2 weeks before AMM)

  • Survey for factors preventing OSS contribution

    • Notes

      • Walt shared a spreadsheet for survey design that LF Research folks are using.

      • What we are actually trying to gather?

      • AGL OSPO-EG does not have budget. Instead we can ask AB to allocate budget for us to conduct the survey in July AMM (Berlin).

      • Expected responses?

      • Endo-san’s idea is 2 phase survey

        • 1) survey by ourselves

          • Better to fit to other industry too, but at first focusing on 1) community(AGL OSPO-EG), and then Automotive industry/community.

        • 2) survey by a professional organization (next year)

      • This year,

  • Feedbacks from LF Research (w/Hilary) discussion

    • Survey conducted by LF Research costs 25K (or more) USD.

      • Can we afford to pay this cost? → Not likely (Japan team opinion)

      • Question: Can we still have a call with Hilary and ask her to help us?
        If it's difficult, it's also OK communicating via e-mail and consult with her regarding special topics like GDPR policy etc. (Endo)

    • Questionary design

      • OSPO-EG sold v1, but there is a room of refinement, “ensuring mutually exclusive/collectively exhaustive answer sets and increased polish for professional deployment.“

    • Next Action

      • To have a call with Hilary? → @Masato ENDO @Hiroyuki Ishii

    • Topics (Ishii)

      • Survey duration (until the end of August?)

      • Schedule: report due (Early Autumn?)

      • Feedback to individual respondent? → If yes, need to collect e-mail address

      • Initial simple statistical data -> September?

      • How to distribute the (analysis) result

        • spread it out via e-mail?

      • Survey system
