Participate in a usability study being conducted at the Barcelona Summit!
OpenStack Project APIs Usability Study: Monday, Oct 24th
The OpenStack UX project will be conducting a series of ten usability studies to identity both opportunities and pain points associated using the project APIs. The study will last less than an hour.
OpenStack OpenStackClient Usability Study: Tuesday, Oct 25th
The OpenStack UX project will be conducting a series of ten usability studies to identity both opportunities and pain points associated with completing common tasks using the OpenStack Common Client (OSC). The study will last less than an hour.
OpenStack User Experience Mission
The mission of the UX Program is to support and facilitate cross-project efforts to improve the overall user experience of OpenStack.
We provide user research to help teams identify any issues preventing adoption of their services as well as help the projects validate design and development efforts to address those issues. In addition, we help the project teams create solutions to address customer needs and pain points. Finally, we will provide the OpenStack community with visibility into any user experience issues related to inconsistency across projects.

Getting Involved
UX Design Activities
The team current uses an online tool called Invision to provided feedback on mocks. The best way to get an account is to post a request to the Horizon IRC and someone with admin privileges will grant you access to post your designs.
Generally, you would want to create a project in Invision and upload images to that project. The next step would be to post a link to that design in the Horizon IRC asking folks to provide reviews. The community has been very good about providing reasonable feedback and it's your choice whether or not to incorporate the recommendations.
We are planning to move to Pholio from Invision in the near future.
