Objective

This page has for goal to define a server survey that we would ask our community to answer on a regular basis.

Introduction

In an effort to better understand, support and further the Ubuntu Server Edition we would like to ask you to take this short poll.

The information provided will help us determine where we can improve support, where to add additional resources and to generate a better understanding of the community which we work within.

Please note that this survey is being conducted by the Ubuntu Server Team in conjunction with the Canonical Server Product Management Team. Information about the Server Team is available at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ServerTeam/

Tool

We are currently evaluating [http://limesurvey.org LimeSurvey] to perform the survey. A test setup has been put in place by nijaba, feel free to request and account with him to test the survey and help us improve it before we go live.
