perfSONAR User Q&A and Other Discussion

[Brian Tierney <>]

Greetings All,

This short set of questions is designed to help the perfSONAR collaboration prioritize future directions. Please respond by August 29, 2014 if possible. The survey should only take about 5 minutes.

perfSONAR Requirements Gathering
==============================

Several organizations, including Internet2, ESnet, Indiana University, and GÉANT, develop and maintain the perfSONAR tool suite as an open source project to the general benefit of the US and global Research and Education community.

In recent years, perfSONAR has grown organically and in small steps in direct response to specific user requests. Going forward, the perfSONAR collaborators are interested in doing an annual formal requirements process. This requirements gathering process includes:

* strategic surveys (such as this one: http://goo.gl/9AAKI2) to the chief stakeholders (e.g.: Campus CIOs)

* technical surveys (such as this one, send to the perfSONAR user community)
* working group meetings online and at various meetings (such as NSF-sponsored perfSONAR workshops)

Survey
======

We would appreciate a moment of your time to fill out this survey, and give the  perfSONAR collaboration some valuable feedback to help steer future roadmap items.  We would appreciate it if you try to fill this form out before August 29.

Thanks!
