Important! Application Developer Recruitment Survey

The OpenStack UX project, with support of the OpenStack Foundation and the Technical Committee, is distributing a survey intended to build a community of application and software developers who are interested in providing feedback to the OpenStack open source community. The survey is eight questions and should take no more than ten minutes to complete.

Application Developer Recruitment Survey

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.

The UX team is not prescriptive; our goal is to collaborate with OpenStack’s projects to create better experiences.

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.

User Research Activities

The community has been actively conducting user research/usability studies. The following are research and results from studies performed to-date:
