Release Candidate Questionnaire

Dear All,

Sourcefire and the ClamAV core team are committed to improving the quality of ClamAV, but we need your help. You can play a critical role in the ClamAV project by participating in the release candidate (RC) process.

While there have been many downloads of the RC version for 0.93, feedback and bug reports on the RC release were few and far between. As you are aware, very shortly after the release of 0.93 a number of bugs were discovered and reported. We believe that most of these bugs would have been discovered earlier with a more rigorous RC process.

With that in mind, we have written a questionnaire that we are asking you all to take part in. This questionnaire should take no more than 5 minutes of your time and it would be a tremendous help to the ClamAV development team. Greater participation in the RC process will help us to discover and fix bugs earlier, avoid unnecessary patch releases and add new features faster.

The questionnaire is available at https://www.surveymonkey.com/s.aspx?sm=50jD3TV0RLtgwzPAPP4kYg_3d_3d.

You may answer anonymously or, if you choose, you may include your contact information so that I may contact you to further discuss how to improve the RC process. Any contact information provided will be used only for this purpose and will not be shared with any organisation other than the ClamAV team.

Just to say thank you, everyone who completes the survey and provides their contact information will have a chance to win one of three US$50 shopping sprees at: http://www.cafepress.com/clamav. The draw will take place on 21st May 2008.

Should you have any questions please feel free to email me at nigel.horne [at] sourcefire, or phone me on +44 1226 241048 (UK time).

Re: Release Candidate Questionnaire [In reply to]

Thank you to all that have taken the time to fill in and respond to the
Release Candidate Questionnaire. The response has been very encouraging
and we have received many useful and helpful ideas to move the RC
process forward.

One popular idea was announcing that an RC will be available
before publication so that people can set aside time - you can see
we've already started this with the pre-announcement of 0.93.1RC1.

The survey is still open at
https://www.surveymonkey.com/s.aspx?sm=50jD3TV0RLtgwzPAPP4kYg_3d_3d
please feel free to carry on filling in forms.

The winners of the shopping spree have been contacted. Those forms now
received will no longer be entered into a prize draw.

Regards,

-Nigel
