Horizon Usability Testing Screener
A Usability Study for Horizon is planned for week of 24 February 2014.
Screener Invitation Message
“We're looking for a few people to participate in a usability study to help improve the overall user experience for OpenStack Horizon. It’s important to note that the results from the study will be shared with the community.
You're not required to be familiar with the OpenStack project or Horizon to participate in the study. In fact, we prefer to have a few people that have never used Horizon, but are familiar with the basic concepts related to managing a cloud.
The survey should take no more than a few minutes to complete and intended to identify people who meet the screener criteria for the study.
