- None, but RocketChat is not well-liked
- Where do you do the majority of your communication for work/hobby/education?
- Slack, Teams
- How many different platforms do you use to communicate with DLT communities?
- List them?Slack, Teams, RocketChat
Identity
- Do you need to log-in to access the community you want? (Does a LFID hinder you from using the Hyperledger chat platform?)
- LFID is a hindrance in that it is difficult to get non-engineers to join (may be true of any platform). Sometimes the RocketChat client is buggy and engineers can't get logged in.
- Do you prefer to share your info (for follow-up, email support, more) or remain anonymous?
- Share the same level we already do when accessing GitHub (email, name, company affiliation)
- Would another authentication format entice you over the Linux Foundation ID?
- Probably not, although we've had success using GitHub Issues instead of JIRA as it doesn't require another login for engineers, so maybe.
- What information about yourself are you comfortable sharing? What information about yourself are you NOT comfortable sharing?
- Ok sharing name, email, company affiliation (this information is already public in the git commit history)
- Not comfortable requiring sharing any other information
Engagement
- Why do you log on to the Hyperledger community platform?
- To make release annoucements
- Community support
- What functionality (or level of engagement) would make you log on more to the platform?
- Requirement for real names attached to users
- More community engagement
- Do you ever browse the chat channels other than your primary channel? If not, what is stopping you from doing so?
- Rarely. Low level of cross-project collaboration makes browsing other channels uninteresting. Plus it is difficult in RocketChat.
- Do you collaborate outside of Hyperledger chat platforms to accomplish your DLT or project work?
- Yes, private chat among maintainers and Zoom calls
Geography
- Where are you located?
- Minneapolis, MN (majority of maintainers)
- Non-engineers are spread across the US and Europe primarily
- What community platforms that others may use are NOT supported in your geo or language?
- None, although corporate restrictions and access to chat platforms is and will continue to be a challenge
