Exercise 1: Jamboard Exercise Notes - https://drive.google.com/file/d/199n0OvdLLueZD_pFni8qKY-bXArSewGP/view?usp=sharing
Group 1
Question 1: What communities/groups of people that use Fedora
- Media Groups. How do they manage their digital content?
- This is a potentially untapped market and we don’t really know what these people are doing with their stuff?
Question 2: Missing Voices
- Engaging non-technical voices can feel difficult at times because of the nature of what we do/make
- Discussions do end up being mostly technical in nature
- Going back to previous list things like Media group, we don’t know who those people are either
- Researchers, faculty and grad students
- Interesting to put them on the list of missed voices because we often just assume they’re not interetsed
Question 3: What outlets can we use to connect?
- Looking at ways to get in to other people’s spaces instead of expecting them to come to us
- They may not be aware of why they need to be coming to us
- Survey fatigue
Group 2
Question 1: What communities/groups of people that use Fedora
- Question to consider: If Fedora went away tomorrow, who would notice?
Question 2: Missing Voices
- Lack of understanding from those who don’t work directly from it so trying to make it understandable to them is challenging
- People understand physical objects (ie. a building) and they don’t understand software
- Pandemic has potentially opened people’s eyes to the need to for things to go online
- Campus and library leadership is sometimes a hard sell on understanding because they don’t understand the need for what we do
