Platforms

  1. What is your preferred community platform?
    1. Discord
  2. Where do you do the majority of your communication for work/hobby/education? 
    1. Discord, Telegram, Slack
  3. How many different platforms do you use to communicate with DLT communities? 
    1. Discord, Telegram, Rocketchat, Slack, Keybase


Identity

  1. Do you need to log-in to access the community you want? (Does a LFID hinder you from using the Hyperledger chat platform?)
    1. It doesn't hinder the maintainers, but it does hinder new joiners from the Ethereum community. They do not like having to log in to communicate.
  2. Do you prefer to share your info (for follow-up, email support, more) or remain anonymous? 
    1. Work in Ethereum and Hyperledger Besu is done in the public so we do share our communities' info that way.
    2. Info shared with LFID for work emails
  3. Would another authentication format entice you over the Linux Foundation ID?
    1. If it was easier than the current LFID methods.  Chrome doesn't support gmail logins for the web interface anymore, so some users must use brave or firefox.
  4. What information about yourself are you comfortable sharing? What information about yourself are you NOT comfortable sharing? 
    1. Share: name, email, work related info
    2. Not comfortable sharing: out-of-work contact, Phone # (even if work cell phone).


Engagement

  1. Why do you log on to the Hyperledger community platform? 
    1. To answer questions from the Besu community
    2. To communicate with the other Besu maintainers
    3. All my co-workers are there
  2. What functionality (or level of engagement) would make you log on more to the platform? 
    1. No login
    2. No friction
    3. Same app I am already using 
  3. Do you ever browse the chat channels other than your primary channel? If not, what is stopping you from doing so? 
    1. Rarely.  Rocket Chat's channel browsing requires too many clicks and channels are not grouped by interest.
    2. When there is explicit cross project collaboration some join other channels (ex: Caliper, Firefly, Cactus). Without the explicit need the UX of rocket chat is enough to prevent browsing.
  4. Do you collaborate outside of Hyperledger chat platforms to accomplish your DLT or project work?
    1. Often.  The Ethereum Foundation has a Discord channel we must collaborate on to ensure mainnet compatibility.  The Enterprise Ethereum Alliance has similar, less chatty and more formal, forums.

Geography

  1. Where are you located?
    1. Besu team is located in APAC (Australia/NZ), Europe (EU/UK), and North America (USA)
  2. What community platforms that others may use are NOT supported in your geo or language?
    1. No real restrictions
