Fedora Annual Contributor Survey Overview

Tavoitteet

In 2021, the Fedora Council ran the first Fedora Annual Contributor Survey. We intend to improve and iterate year over year to help achieve the following goals:

  • To gain an understanding of the usage patterns in various Fedora flavours and tooling

  • To analyze trends based on particular tools, preferred media platforms, or role

  • To understand the correlation between satisfaction of respondents and involvement in Fedora

  • To analyze the accessibility of documentation, engagement, and resources

  • To gain insight on awareness and visibility of teams and activities happening across Fedora
