Subject: [Fsuk-manchester] An OpenStreetMap Survey
Date: Sat, 23 Feb 2013 21:27:06 +0000
From: Yuwei Lin <yuwei.lin(a)gmail.com>
To: Manchester Free Software <fsuk-manchester(a)nongnu.org>
Hello all,
A research project I'm involved in regarding OpenStreetMap is
recruiting respondents to a survey questionnaire for inactive OSM
mappers. The link to the survey is [http://bit.ly/W2ITgh]. If you were
/ are an OSM contributor, it would be great if you could spend 5
minutes completing the survey. We'd also be grateful if you could
forward this to people who might be interested. Please see the
invitation from the researchers below. Thank you.
Best wishes,
Yuwei

=== A Message from Austria ===
Dear colleagues,
We are conducting a study on experiences and attitudes towards
platforms with user-generated content, particularly OpenStreetMap:
http://bit.ly/W2ITgh If you think this is not for you, because you
are not an active OSM contributor (anymore) – don’t worry, we are
looking exactly for people like you!
Completing the whole survey will take you about 10-15 minutes only.
All participants have the chance to win one of five 30€ Amazon
vouchers. Of course we will handle your personal data confidentially,
and will not pass them to any third party.
Please feel free to forward the questionnaire to friends and
colleagues. Any level of experience with OSM is relevant for the
survey.
Thank you for participating, we appreciate your help!

Hello all, this Saturday Free Software activists will determine the easiest
ways of chatting using Free Software audio and video programs. We'll be
testing out a variety of applications, including Pidgin, Empathy, and Kopete.
The core group of testers will be in Madlab Hackerspace in Manchester, but
*anyone can participate* - join the #FSFE IRC channel on Freenode to find
people to test chatting with, and see what still needs testing (email
manchester(a)lists.fsfe.org if you need help getting access to IRC).
The aim is to publish the results as a compatibility chart that will show at a
glance the easiest way to chat. As many Free Software users still use Skype
due to confusion surrounding Free Software alternatives, our research will
hopefully be very useful to a variety of individuals and organisations.
*Activity outline*
- Testing takes place on 15.09.12 at 14.00-17.00 UK time (15.00-18.00 CEST)
- Use a grid of Free Software chat programs for collecting our findings
- Test as many chat clients as possible (eg. Pidgin, Psi)
- For each combination of programs test whether voice chat and video
works (people without webcams can still test voice chat)
*Optional additional tests*
- Try connecting to other people at madlab, and also try
connecting to people in other countries
- Test the Free Software clients with different operating
systems if people bring them installed on laptops
- Test different versions of chat clients (not just the latest release)
*Requirements*
- Bring your own laptop (some older laptops will be available to borrow)
- Your laptop should have either a built in microphone, a separate microphone,
or mic headset
*Optional Requirements*
- Built in, or stand-alone webcam
Three separate Free Software and GNU/Linux groups will be meeting in MadLab on
Saturday: Manchester FSFE Fellowship Group, Manchester Free Software, and
ManLUG. Other activities will likely be available in addition to chat testing,
so feel free to come along and see what you fancy.

and-manlug/
"See" you there (one way or another :) ),
Sam.

Hi - Anyone fancy having this months fsfe meeting (on the 4th of feb) in
nexus or somewhere, rather than in Madlab. Am thinking warm and with tea
and a little background noise might make a nice change :)
Best

Hi FSFE Folks
I see there is no mention of an FSFE meeting on the madlab calendar.
Is there no meeting? I don't want to travel over from Huddersfield to find nobody there :-)
