eglute#topic survey update17:04
egluteI think the survey is almost finalized and should be going out soon, i am sure everyone has seen emails17:04
*** allison_ has joined #openstack-diversity17:05
*** allison_ is now known as Guest9559717:05
eglutei don't really know much besides what has been in the emails. we are hoping to get the results in time for the summit17:05
egluteanyone else can add anything about the survey?17:06
lsellYes, but I want to make sure everyone is happy with the questions. I think the way we're asking about sexuality and religion is still up in the air17:06
barrett1It sounds like we'll get the data back on 10/16, I wonder if we should setup a call to review results?17:06
eglutebarrett1 i think that is great idea17:06
barrett1I looked for sample answers for the Religion and Culture questions but didn't find anything helpful17:06
eglute#action barrett1 to set up a call to review survey results17:06
spotzlsell I think the hope was to finalize everything on the survey this meeting17:07
barrett1will do17:07
lsellAnd I've gotten feedback about adding a general question along the lines of “During your involvement with OpenStack, how inclusive would you consider the OpenStack community to be?"  (on a scale of 0 to 10) that we can correlate with other demographics data17:07
lsellspotz: perfect! i just want to make sure we have the discussion :)17:07
eglutelsell regarding the sexuality and religion i am ok with letting the foundation make the final call17:07
eglutehere is the link to survey in question: #link https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/?sm=Ju6YvZHHMOt%2bqvcrDczCC7KJ%2fy6YDf4koT9sM2cSqZ2ggvm1U7uH8CErqYzXNfKmlbDNU0gMLsP8ej5qguQyzWmuGzgO%2baI5VynQViJRCdI%3d17:08
barrett1Isell: I like the concept and would want to make sure we get actionable input. Maybe: Are there any barriers to your engagement in the community?17:09
lxsliI like the "many barriers" "few barriers" style of option rather than 1-1017:09
barrett1I am concerned that without some type of answers for people to chose from for 5 & 6 we'll get a random set of data that we can't do anything with17:09
spotzThat is the problem with not having choices to select from barrett1. While it gives folks freedom it makes analysis next to impossible17:10
lselli agree17:11
eglute+1, is it too late to get a list of major religious plus a write in, or other17:11
lxsliI'm not so sure, I think natural groupings will form17:11
lsellmy preference would be to remove questions 3 and 5 and ask a more general question about whether sexuality or religion has had an impact on their involvement and acceptance in the community17:11
barrett1spotz: +1 ; I like the idea of set choices plus and other field with free form text entry17:11
eglutelsell i like that idea as well17:11
*** lsell has left #openstack-diversity17:12
spotz+1 lsell17:12
*** lsell has joined #openstack-diversity17:12
barrett1Isell: That's a really good point! If people don't perceive there are barriers, then it's of lower priority.17:12
lsellAny thoughts on the best way to phrase that question and what the response choices should be?17:13
lxslihow do we distinguish between "diverse" people that haven't had problems and "non-diverse" people? For statistical purposes17:13
spotzlxsli which question is that?17:13
lxsliIf we remove Q3+5 and only ask if people have felt an impact, a negative response leaves us without information on how many diverse-but-happy people there are17:14
lxsliIt'd be easy to lump those people into the majority camp and make the minority camps look smaller than they really are17:15
eglutelxsli we could ask people if they are happy :)17:15
cmasseyThoughts: Is there a mimimum percentage / quantity of survey reponses that we need for the survey results to be considered representative of the community? If we don’t get the minimum participation rate needed then how do we plan to proceed?17:15
*** Guest95597 has quit IRC17:16
eglutecmassey what was the response rate for user survey?17:16
*** aprice has joined #openstack-diversity17:16
lselleglute: that one is hard to tell because we publicly promote it. we don't just send it to the list of foundation members17:16
lxsliI'm also a bit worried about agreeing major changes in this meeting instead of on the mailing list17:16
eglutealso, does the foundation know how many active/somewhat active members there?17:17
barrett1cmassey: I'm not a stats expert to know what we'd need to make it statistically significant...17:17
spotzlxsli We could try to finalize and then send out to the mailing list with a time to respond by. The issue is if we want the data back before Summit with time to do anything with it we can't wait too long17:18
eglutespotz +117:18
barrett1spotz: +117:18
cmasseyeglute: we have a little over 31,000 individual foundaion members - however the valuation of “active” or not depends on how you define that17:19
spotzPulling up the survey I think 3 could stay, 5 as lsell suggested earlier should have a list attached?17:19
lxslispotz: that seems more reasonable17:19
spotzNot sure if 6 can be quantified17:20
lxsli6 is an absolute minefield17:20
eglutecmassey i expect that the participation rate will not be very high, as is usually with elections and other things. I would be happy if we got 20% of community to respond. 10% would be good as well17:21
eglutewhat would people suggest for #617:21
lxslifree text is the only option imo17:21
cmasseyhttps://www.surveymonkey.com/blog/2011/09/15/how-many-people-do-i-need-to-take-my-survey/17:22
spotzeglute My fair is it changes by country so it'd be hard to assign values that would cover everything17:22
spotzfear even17:22
eglutespotz true, was trying to find something that would list different options, but first search results for me are very US focused17:23
barrett1it seems like religious identity is a combination of Ethnic + Religion17:23
spotzWould it be possible to have tablets or laptops set up in the entry for summit for folks to fill it out on the way in or as they have time?17:23
barrett1I've been trying to find terms for these from the UN website17:23
lsellfor comparison, i just confirmed we got a 3% response rate on the most recent survey to the foundation membership list (it was a job task analysis survey mean to inform the professional certification testing, and it came with incentives)17:24
eglutewe could ask, "In the country you currently reside, do you belong to racial/ethnic minority"?17:24
eglutelsell ouch.17:24
spotzeglute Oh I like that17:24
lxslieglute: does that work for Africans?17:24
KLevensteinor maybe “…do you identify as a member of a racial/ethnic minority”?17:25
lxslibeing locally majority doesn't necessarily help at all in the OpenStack community17:25
egluteKLevenstein i like that as well17:25
spotz+117:25
KLevensteinyou could have paired questions. “in the country where you currently reside…” and “in the openstack community…”17:26
eglute+117:26
spotz+117:26
barrett1Klevenstein: +117:26
KLevensteinthat might address the context issues we’re sort of circling around17:27
spotzklevenstein do you see any other questions that would benefit from that break down of conoutry/openstack?17:27
KLevensteinlooking...17:27
lxsliMaybe "Do you identify as a racial/ethnic minority within the OpenStack community?"17:27
spotzI really can typo...17:27
lxsliWhat's the utility of the per-country question?17:28
KLevensteinspotz: that’s the only one that really jumps out at me17:28
lxsliWelp I need to go, sorry o/17:29
eglutethanks lxsli  for your help17:30
lxsligood luck :)17:30
spotzthanks lxsli, night!17:30
AlanClarkcould we get a question in around where they are or want to participate? not sure the right wording17:30
egluteHello AlanClark! what do you mean about the participation? whether they want to participate?17:30
AlanClarkIt's a how question.  Do they want to contribute code, ambassador,....17:31
AlanClarkthat would help us to know the diversity in the different areas of the project17:32
egluteoh i see. yes, i think we could add that, could be very useful17:32
barrett1I like the combination of the "How" question along with a "Barriers" question - could be very powerful in directing actions17:32
egluteat the bottom of https://etherpad.openstack.org/p/OpenStackDiversity.13 i started working on the wording17:33
egluteplease help!17:33
eglutethanks everyone... i think we can polish that up after the meeting as well.17:36
barrett1good list!17:38
eglutelsell cmassey how about #5 and #6 how would you like us to write it up or make changes17:38
lsellone second, trying to summarize updates here17:38
spotzeglute was #6 now klevelstein's suggestion?17:39
eglutei think so. spotz can you put in etherpad so we can work on the wording?17:39
lsellso just to make sure i'm up to speed on your current thinking (since I need to implement the updates): leave question #3, prompt responses for #5 (who is going to recommend that list?), remove #6 and instead apply to country and community, add a "how do you participate in the community question" based on etherpad draft and add a "do you feel included / face barriers" question...17:39
lsellis that right?17:39
spotzyep let me grab it17:40
spotzlsell I believe so17:40
eglutecan someone help with #5 list? if not, i will take that17:40
eglute#action eglute work on the list of most common religions send it to Lauren by end of day17:41
spotzeglute I'll try to lend a hand17:42
eglutethank you spotz!17:42
spotzneed to track down keep folks for one thing first:)17:42
egluteKLevenstein lsell can you check the bottom of etherpad and see if #6 what you had in mind17:42
barrett1eglute: I'll keep looking for info on #5 too and send anything useful I find17:43
eglutethank you barrett117:43
lselleglute: looks good to me17:43
eglutethank you lsell17:44
egluteso lsell and cmassey brought up a good question about success rate and mentioned that the response to one of the previous surveys was super low, at 3%. how can we help with promoting this survey?17:44
lsellfor the "type" of participation question, i might suggest consolidating the response choices a bit and offering a "select all that apply"17:44
eglutelsell +117:45
spotzYeah I think we were just throwing spaghetti to the wall lsell:)17:45
barrett1lsell +117:45
lselljust to be clear, i don't think 3% was a bad response rate for the size of our community, but i just want to set expectations. that survey was also a bit longer17:45
lsellspotz: totally understand :)17:45
eglutelsell thanks.. i guess i was overly optimisting with 10% :)17:46
egluteoptimistic17:46
eglutelsell cmassey will the survey be surveymonkey or something else?17:47
lsellsurveymonkey17:47
eglutealso, will it be individual links to each member? or unique links?17:47
lsellno unique links17:47
egluteso we could potentially tweet it?17:48
lsellyes, but that's a very good point / question17:48
lsellwe could get some random people trolling or responding if we promote via social media17:49
eglutethat is true. how about mailing lists?17:49
lsellbut at the same time, our foundation individual member database may not cover everyone who considers themselves part of the community17:49
eglutethe openstack ones?17:49
lsellyes, i think mailing lists would be very appropriate17:49
eglutei think we will see it tweeted regardless17:49
egluteif it goes on a mailing list, it will be tweeted as well17:50
spotzCould we add it on the website somewhere?17:50
KLevensteineglute: LGTM17:50
eglutethank you KLevenstein17:51
eglutewe are running out of time, but i think the survey was the most important topic, considering still so many questions arising about the questions.17:52
lsellspotz: yes, we can look at a way to promote it on the website17:52
lsellas a next step, i'll take a stab at incorporating the updates and send another preview to the mailing list for review by EOD17:53
spotzSo I owe anyone anything?:) Just checking before we break17:53
eglutethank you lsell i will be here most of the day today17:53
spotzDo I... typing not a skillset today17:53
lsellwe'll plan to distribute it via email to the foundation individual member database (approx 31K people) and then i'll let the diversity group decide where else they'd like to promote it (mailing lists, etc.)17:53
eglutethank lsell17:53
barrett1+117:54
lsellthank you all!17:54
egluteso in the etherpad discussion about religion. should we change it to the holidays question?17:54
lsellare we still ok with a close date of 10/14 and getting anonymized data by 9/16, or do we need to adjust those dates?17:54
eglutelsell that works for me.17:55
spotzeglute so instead of a list of religions a 'which of the following holidays do you celebrate?17:55
eglutespotz i am worried the holiday list would be super long17:55
apricespotz: i think that holidays may not be the only thing that impacts folks based on religious beliefs. I think that only saying holidays may leave out other things.17:56
spotzWould it be wrong to maybe say we do not mean to offend if you're 'religion/holiday' is not listed?17:56
barrett1I like the approach of asking about barriers, but think we may need to frame this, without biasing to encourage the respondents to think broadly17:57
egluteaprice good point17:57
spotzI think no matter whether its your religion or holiday we're going to leave someone out17:57
spotzNot sure who's typing but that may be the way to go:)17:58
egluteRefraze to: "Does your religious beliefs and holidays limit your particaption in OpenStack events?"17:58
eglutethis?17:58
spotzyeah17:58
spotzI'm hoping we don't have a lot of I can't work with that group because someone is of x religion in it17:59
egluteyou can see names if you click on the top right corner that shows number of people17:59
barrett1with a follow-up of if yes, what is your religious affiliation...?17:59
spotzeglute yeah but my chat window is currently covering it:)17:59
eglutehehe18:00
eglutebarrett1 yes i think that would be good18:00
egluteand let them select, plus add option for "other" if we didnt mention their religion18:00
spotzOk so we're going with the refraze question from the etherpad and still putting together a list?18:00
eglutewe are at time, but i am here until you all are available18:01
eglutespotz yes i think so18:01
spotzOk18:02
barrett1I think we should make it a short list, covering the largest religious identities with an other field18:02
spotz+1 barrett118:02
barrett1Here's one source of info: http://www.adherents.com/Religions_By_Adherents.html18:02
barrett1it18:02
barrett1it's older, but am looking for something more up to date18:03
eglutebarrett1 i like that list18:03
spotzhttp://www.pewforum.org/2012/12/18/global-religious-landscape-exec/18:04
spotzI'm not sure if that one isn't too narrow just to make it into their pretty pie chart18:04
eglutelsell AlanClark are having discussion regarding participation in ehterpad18:05
barrett1here's 2010 data: http://globalreligiousfutures.org/explorer/custom#/?subtopic=15&chartType=pie&data_type=percentage&destination=from&year=2010&religious_affiliation=all&countries=Worldwide&gender=all&age_group=all18:05
spotzBut next to the pie chart they do list more18:05
barrett1Eglute: Do we have everything we need to move this forward? We're out of time....18:06
egluteAlanClark lsell how would you re-fraise that question regarding participation18:06
eglutebarrett1 i think there is still some finalizing done for the questions.18:07
eglutebut, if you cannot stay, you dont have to18:07
barrett1ok18:07
eglutesorry to run over, but i feel like we are getting a lot done :)18:08
AlanClarksorry got sidetracked on the etherpad.  Propose to change question #5 to "Does your religious beliefs and holiday observance limit your participation in trhe community such as at OpenStack meetings and events?"18:08
egluteAlanClark I like that. Do we want a follow up question "if yes"?18:09
lselli like that. as the follow up, rather than asking to identify their religion, i would say if yes, what are the barriers, or if yes, please give us feedback18:09
eglutelsell i think that is good as well18:09
spotzAnd as we'd hope it's a low number may not be bad to correlate18:10
egluteright. and with this, we will not have specific religious info.18:11
spotz+118:11
egluteanything else that we should discuss?18:12
eglutelsell do you have everything to make the changes?18:12
lselli think so! i'm sure there will be a few more tweaks once we send out the updated version, but we have enough for now18:12
lsellthank you!18:13
eglutelsell glad to hear it.18:13
spotzthank you lsell!18:13
eglutethank you everyone for your work today!18:13
