RE: [dsdp-pmc] FW: Project success metric
|
Hi Mark,
this fall I've been asking community members about this
kind of
information for a Press Release. I've simply been E-Mailing
personal contacts, mailing list members, bugzilla
commenters
as well as blogging and asking on the
newsgroup.
The amount of feedback was quite good, I got specific
information
about approx. ten adopters; 5 of which finally agreed to
get named
in a press release.
Given that information in a Press
Release is even more sensitive
than for a
University Study, I'd hope that I get good feedback with
forwarding this request on our communication channels
(mailing
list, newsgroup, blog, personal
contacts).
Since blogs are aggregated on planeteclipse (and this is
probably
the prime way in which they are read), I would suggest that
we
have ONE blog asking this information for all of DSDP. Doug
would
you like to blog this, or should I?
Cheers,

I would love to have this kind of
information. Problem is that community adopters of the projects very rarely
talk about who they work for and what they are doing. When I've asked for
Eclipse's help to determine who is downloading eRCP, this information was
generally thought to be private. So in that case, I think divulging any info
that has not been explicitly revealed by community members might not be a good
idea.

Hi folks,
See below. Can I get a list of commercial products /
companies that use the technology from each of the DSDP projects? This is
probably good information to gather periodically anyway, but in this case it’s
for a study.
Thanks in
advance,
Doug

Dear Doug,
I am wrting to you as a
follow-up of a discussion with Bjorn Freeman.
I am a graduate student at Carleton
University, enrolled in the Technology Innovation Management program. My
thesis is on the topic of "Open source project diversity and success" and will
be based on data from Eclipse. My supervisor is prof. Stoyan Tanev (tanev@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx, cell 613-291-3105).
In my study I need to
define project success and need to ask you one question. Please answer it at
your convenience.
- Do you know how many commercial parties have
adopted the software developed within the scope of the activities of your
project, and if possible, can you list them?
Your response will be critical
for the finalization of my study as well as for its potential value for
Eclipse.
Thank you very much advance.
Kind regards,
Heather
