(16:04:25) clu_sun: which user do you mean in concrete?
(16:04:29) Andreas: planned was a stay at Sun Munchen for some time to collect qualitative data from Sun's HR people who are not developers and whi use OOo in production in their everyday work

(16:05:47) Andreas: another one would be our partner from the IsoMetrics-S survey, VBG, who are interested in further cooperation
(16:06:24) Andreas: VBG specifically has a lot of users who come quite close to our Joe Average
(16:06:52) Andreas: which is also applicable to Sun staff at certain locations
(16:07:19) Andreas: all this has the goal to collect data for persona creation
(16:07:44) clu_sun: do we already have sun data, expect the qa stuff?
(16:07:50) Andreas: no

(16:10:30) Andreas: don't know by heart who is into qualitative research
(16:10:39) Andreas: yes
(16:11:16) LizM: But we could ask who else on the mailing list is experienced in that area and if they have users at hand, so to speak. ;-)
