Round Table

• lizm: I just wanted to point out that I got the wiki usage survey up and running last Friday. Now there are 54 responses and more keep coming in. Not as big a deal as the user surveys, of course, but I'm happythere are at least 54 people using the OOowiki.:-)
• frankl: Some words about the OpenOffice User Survey 2009: Users are asked to take the survey, if they chose register from the help menu. More than 10.000 users took that survey since February 20! We hope to have stable results within the next 3 week.
• frankl: frankl: and we had the State of the Project presentation last Thursday. Please find the presentation here: http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/Renaissance:Presentations. We will blog about this later today.
• lizm: lizm: Plus I finished proof-reading and retranslating the IsoL survey last week for Andreas to go ahead with the English version
• lizm: BTW, I blogged on GullFOSS and UX about the wiki usage survey, but if anyone knows of more places I should ask for participants, please let me know of feel free to post the link yourself. Thx!
• ambrin: Introduced himself as a Designer/Project Manager from Atlanta who plans to join the project. Further information to come. -> Big WELCOME to ambrin!!!

mdamboldt: I will be out of the office next Monday. Thanks to Andreas who will run next weeks meeting.

IRC Log

<Andreas_sun> hi everyone
<Andreas_sun> and welcome to today's meeting
<frankl> Hi, all!
<clu_sun> moin
<Andreas_sun> we have 6 action items to go through today.
<Andreas_sun> 1. ODF document analyzer
<Andreas_sun> that's mine
<Andreas_sun> some news
<Andreas_sun> Chrristoph Noak toalked about it during his presentation on CeBit
<Andreas_sun> yesterday
* luo (n=opera@83.230.9.77) hat #ux.openoffice.org betreten
<Andreas_sun> we hope to attract some Java dev people who are interested to help out
<Andreas_sun> 2.  User Survey 2009
<Andreas_sun> Frank
* luo (n=opera@83.230.9.77) hat #ux.openoffice.org verlassen
<frankl> We had some problems with the User Survey 2009 database last weekend. We had to start over with a new database table due to an error in the original one. I hope a repair of the old database table  is possible.
<frankl> The old table already had 14000 responses.
<frankl> We receive about 1000 responses a day.
<frankl> Furthermore we have discovered a dead link to the survey. We have fixed this link and redirect all visitors to the most current survey on OOo.
<Andreas_sun> ok
<Andreas_sun> 3. Usage Tracking Marketing text --> Liz
<Andreas_sun> Liz is not here dotay
<Andreas_sun> so I guess nothing new
<Andreas_sun> CN also talked about that on CeBit, a positive promotion
<Andreas_sun> 4. Usage Tracking Functionality --> Andreas
<Andreas_sun> So far, everything is going as planned. Target is still 3.1
<Andreas_sun> 5. Compatitive Analsis --> Frank
<frankl> Still stalled.
<Andreas_sun> ok
<Andreas_sun> last one for today
<Andreas_sun> 6. User interview and focus groups --> Andreas
<Andreas_sun> currently, it seems that we will have some slight changes in out road map since we're getting close to the prototyping phase.
<Andreas_sun> we will reconsider all data we have collected so far and then decide what is left to research
<Andreas_sun> it might happed that we use these ressources for the evaluation of design solutions e.g. focus groups to test prototypes etc.
<Andreas_sun> so, no more actions items
<Andreas_sun> ROUND TABLE
<Andreas_sun> someone anything?
<frankl> I have nothing for today.
<Andreas_sun> well, I have just a short info.
<Andreas_sun> the presentation that CN gave yesterday will be available as a video
<Andreas_sun> probably some time this week but only in German
<Andreas_sun> and an other thing ...
<Andreas_sun> check out the new UX planet for OpenOffice.org planet.openoffice.org/ux
<Andreas_sun> so that's it from my side
