The Novell Open Audio semi-anniversary listener feedback survey - October 02, 2006 Responses: 233

1. Lately we have experimented with putting out shows more often. Which reflects your feelings about how often we release episodes:   Response Percent Response Total     Can you slow it down a bit? I cannot keep up with all the stuff coming out. 2.6% 6     It's okay now, but if you increase much more, you're going to lose me. 21.6% 50     I liked it better when you were releasing once every two weeks. 5.2% 12     I only listen to the episodes that interest me, so the frequency is fine. 39% 90     More! More! I'm still not satisfied! 31.6% 73 Total Respondents   231 (skipped this question)   2

I think it is fantastic that you are releasing this show more often. Your show is a very good tool to build the community around the Novell product, the more the better. It makes us feel that we are there at HQ with you :) 3. Love it! it's great. Maybe links to related sites would be greate, or documents, tutorials. Anything that can make information exchange easier 4. Too many good podcasts out there. I try to focus on the ones I find my relevent to what I want to learn about. 5. Like the show and would like an interface to return some request for deeper conversation in certain areas. Otherwise it is great keeps me up to date on areas that I might not research normally. 6. the rate at which you folks are delivering your podcasts is really good for me . it's nice to go to the novell site and see what's fresh and new . 7. A lot of podcast seem to settle in a fixed structure eg They start with short intoductioen and or short news flashes. Then follow with the main story. After the main story they end with user comments and in your case you could add comment from tech support. If you haven more then one main story i would prefer it to be in a sepperate podcast on its own. 8. I tend to listen to episodes in batches, so I'm well used to falling behind. 9. You are really good. I'am enjoying your show. 10. 11. Weekly seems like a good frequency 12. This is a great way to get out information to us ! More technical information keep them coming.. 13. Novell has to keep a steady stream of information coming. Some will keep up, some will fall behind, some will only listen selectively, but Novell cannot slack the pace, in fact must pick it up. to the extent that Open Audio can assist in that process ... go man, go! 14. Keep it up, the quality is excellent. 15. More often and shorter is no problem but I think limit it to 60 minutes per fortnight. But it's podcasting - do it whenever 16. Add some info on the not so well known features like Bluetooth file transfer and receive. 17. Not really lose me. But i'll have to skip some episodes. 18. Time is a problem. The shows can get long, and that is harder to fit into my day. 19. I´ve only listen to one show so far but you can bet that I will keep hearing every show I can from now on and go to back shows that I think would interest me. 20. I seem to go through highs and lows. I don't listen for a few weeks, then I have a ton of shows the catch up on. How about a mailing list so I can learn when a new show is posted? Or am I a complete (fill in the blank) and it's already on the site? 21. Actually, I listen to everything Novell Open Audio releases. I auto-download them to my desktop computer and run through them while I am working. 22. I really like the short focussed episodes you've put out. 23. These are podcasts -- feel free to crank them out as fast as you can, and I can listen to them at my own speed. 24. The content is so diverse (particularly when focused on products) that I do tend to pick the ones I want from a cursory scan of the titles. 25. Everything is A-OK. 26. Your current release cycle is good-to-go. When interesting subjects require attention and you create a special episode that is a nice addition to the normal weekly schedule. 27. Sadly my boring job allows me to have up to 6 hours of time per day when my brain would be rotting if I didn't have tech related podcasts to listen to. I burn through a LOT of podcasts during the week. ~please may I have some more sir? 28. I like all the Novell latest news upload in the podcast...so I can keep up with Novell's news everywhere I go 29. The new shows are great, I love getting more information faster. 30. Sorry, but this open source thing is all about choice :p 31. I do really enjoy listening to open audio... I really appreciate your efforts! I do wish that there would be a little more conversation about some more obscure products that Novell has in it's arsenal, such as Virtual Office... and Maybe some more updated on product roadmaps! 32. Weekly's great. More often is fantastic if you have something worth reporting on. I really enjoyed the Guadec shows. I get lonely if I have to wait two weeks! 33. I do a lot of driving, and can keep up with the frequency of shows. 34. I realy like this frequency, and the content is better since the first episodes. I realy enjoy listening to them, however I do have to admit that I'm only listening to what is interisting me, which makes sense, I believe. 35. what's wrong with once a week? 36. On September 2, my podcatcher picked up over 55 episodes of noa. Haven't gotten through them yet. I suspect that something on the RSS feed confused my podcatcher. Looks like I may have listened to these before, but it seems like I'm behind right now. 37. I think I can handle more. I have listened to every show, but maybe I have a long commute. I know the focus is on SLES/SLED, but would like to see more on other products. IDM, Access Manager, Storage Manager, ZEN, GW, Market Start products (I know you did the BrainShare segments, but expand). 38. Hmmm, increasing it a bit more might actually be ok but this was the closest option. 39. The "canned answer isn't 100% accurate" I enjoy the show, and I have a hell of a long commute, so I listen to podcasts in general as much as I can. I do find the show to be informative and very well done. 40. To be honest Ted, Erin. Id never listened to the Podcast not being a Novell User. Having met you guys at LRL06 I understood how much you were about the community. Im enjoying the ( and being swayed by ) the content and the input im currently seening in the show. 41. Possibly fork between products and a Tech podcasts dealing with indvidual products. Don't have time in the day to read much. 42. The more the merrier 43. Short to-the point, shows are great. Information that you cannot write down is good. PM plans, the PM thought process. 44. I check the website for what's on the show, then decide if I download it. Shows I download, I listen from start to end. 45. I think that the option that is lacking here is 'I'd like to see a regular release schedule [every two weeks?], with extras as warranted'. That way when you have a conference or something to report from, we get those 'gluts' of interviews in batches. Yet we can count on every other Wednesday seeing the regular show come down the pike. 46. I'll listen to most shows, I don't want to miss something that didn't make it in to the summmary. 47. I prefer smaller shows with only one topic on a faster base 48. I really enjoyed the period where the podcasts were from the LinuxWorld expo and Nat Friedman, David Reveman and others discussed Beagle, Xgl and several other specific projects. This gives the listener a good idea of where the projects are heading. 49. More geek/Linux stuff, less Novell support stuff. 50. SUSE Rocks! 51. You are doing an outstanding job with Open Audio. Since Novell now employs a number of Open Source Luminaries who are actively involved with the code, continuing communication with them is important. The LinuxWorld, and LugRadio shows have been superior. Keep up the great work. 52. It won't actually bother me if you release more or less often, as long as you release at least one every couple of weeks. 53. I really like the shows because It's the best way for me to hear about new Novell, suse and opensource projects. 54. I wouldn't mind more frequent shows if they were a bit shorter. There's only so much time to listen to podcasts. Of course, right now during the hiatus of LUGRadio, there's more time for NOA. 55. Once per week, or once every other week is acceptable. Less than that, and I start to forget why I listen. :-) 56. I like a weekly show, but if you don't have new or fresh content, every two weeks is fine. 57. Every two weeks isn't often enough. It seems there are probably still several episodes "in the can" that haven't been release yet. 58. I use podcasts things to help fill time while traveling between work sites and there only a few that I listen to, OpenAudio being one of them, so the more the merrier. 59. I look about twice a week to see if there is something to listen to and if it interest me I grab it. 60. a great archive of info. 61. Excellant shows. I like some of the short & sweet shows just to catch up. 62. I catch every episode but I tend to have little interest in the very novell specific internal server technology episodes and episodes geared towards Novell partners like the Brainshare episodes. I like the community episodes: OpenSuSE, talking to the desktop developers and that kind of stuff. 63. I'd like a little more regular releases, having said that however, don't rush anything though, we don't wanna loose the quality of the show. 64. To be honest I just listen when I find episodes. I use bashpodder, and one day just shove a few NOA episodes onto my portable music player and listen whilst I do house chores. 65. I must admit I'd fallen a bit behind with NOA recently, so I'm not sure whether it's a combination of me not having much time and the higher frequency. 66. I think the shows are great! Listen to them when I ride the train to work while I drink my coffee and chewing my bagel. 67. Tricky descision to be made... I think a weekly release of an episode would probably be the maximum, with a fortnightly release being the minimum. Extras can be thrown out at your pleasure. 68. stuff on how linux is conquering the desktop is always awesome keep up the great work. 69. I think once a week or so is a good target; more than one a week is where I think you'd do better to space them out vs. releasing a bunch close together and then perhaps going several weeks where nothing new is relased. 70. Can't get enough of information regarding Novell and Linux 71. Yeh I love the shows and the more i can get the better. :) 72. Each show has provided a excellent overview of both the individuals working on technology at Novell and the technology itself. Adding more episodes should be accomplished by expanding the depth of interviews and content in current episodes, and splitting off other less related content to its own episode, but maintaining an overall length of 45min. or less. 73. put out the show when you have content. I think you have a perfect frequency. 74. Podcasts are a valuable way for me to keep up with what is going on in the IT world. I can listen to them while I work or whenever I have time. The more there are, the less I have to go digging around in zines and such trying to stay informed. 75. So much on Linux...so little on everything else. 76. excellet session.and good show.. 77. I listen to every Linux podcast I can possibly get my hands on. 78. Sometimes I noticed a new episode to be already replaced and I believe the time that passed between my two visits were only a couple days 79. About once a week would be ideal (IMHO). 80. Once a week would be nice. 81. I think that more shows is good, but a few of them had about 10 minutes of just random chatter and joking around that could have been cut out. that is if there are going to be that many shows, if it's just once a week or so I don't mind it as much. 82. Ted et al. I am always looking to see if my RSS reader has a new Open Audio entry. And when it does, whamo immediate suck down of the bits!!! 83. The more the marrier.

4. Comments?  Total Respondents   73 (skipped this question)   160 1. When you go past a certain length of time people can fall off. 2. I usually put the shows on my MP3 player and listen when I am doing maintenance on servers. So anything under an hour is usually good. 3. An hour long show is good 4. I would sooner see a lot more shows, but in shorter length than 90. People don't have 90 minutes. But they can pop in for 10-20, and then you can use them on your ipod or where ever, and just select the next. You could even break longs shows into shorter "chapeter" or sections, so people know where they start and end 5. Depending on frequency. It's hard to keep up with all of the podcasts I listen to. I have a 40 to 50 minute commute (one way) and I split time listening to NPR and podcasts so my view is definitely biased on time limit! I like something that is long enough to be informative, but not so long I have listen over multiple drives. 6. Don'm kae the episodes too long, or it will be hard to listen to them on the road. 7. i think for me 1/2 an hour to fourty five minutes is the sweet spot . throw in an episode at an hour long now and then would be a nice treat from time to time . 8. I do most of my PodCast listening during my work commute, so since my travel time for work is around 45 minutes I find shows around that length the most convenient. 9. Sometimes I like burning the podcasts to CD's so I can listen to them while driving to work. Alas, my car does not have mp3 capability yet. So it would be nice to keep the length less than 70min. Most if not all of your shows are shorter than this which is great for me. 10. There was a poll on the length of podcast and the result was that 22 minutes was the maximum attention span for most listeners. 11. The odd short ~10min show is fine too if you just have something quick to say. 12. recent format is fine and also the lenght maybe little bit more time for interesting persons and projects 13. It's fine where it is. 14. It would be nice to break long shows into short length ones. 15. Not to long 16. perhaps have "regular length" shows for regularly scheduled items, and then release additional shows of variable length, where the length fits the particular issue addressed in the show. 17. Short sharp with no ramblings 18. 1 Hour, longer, the better 19. 35 minutes is my personal, preferred Podcast length. 20. The time you are doing is fine. I see it more important to cover what is needed than having to fill in or cut back to a pre-determined amount of time. 21. If the show is good I will listen until it's over no matter how long it is. I love to listen while studying late at night! 22. The brain needs time to absorb all this stuff. 30 minutes is about my maximum attention span. 23. Depending on the interview I'd be happy listening for up to an hour, particualry if the cast was group-interview-based covering a subject indepth. for product snapshots or updates, I'd be happier with "burst casts" that summarise the main features as long as the reference URL's are posted aswell! 24. Long commutes to work.... need all the podcasting I can get! Plus, I'd rather the story reported properly then done half assed cause of time restrictions. Maybe have a 'paraphased' verion of the stories at the start and then get more in depth later in the show, so ppl who want shorter shows can switch off and people who want more can keep listening. All satisfied. 25. Anything less than 30 minutes is really not worth the time, but over an hour is a little too much of a good thing. 26. 15-20 min. works for me :-) 27. The longer it is, the better they are...so i can listen them inside my car. 28. I listen to podcasts on my commute, and it takes around 1.5 hours, roundtrip, so I can listen to one, maybe two shows a day. 29. I wouldn't mind a longer show at times depending on the topic.. as long as it doesn't seem like the time is dragging to reach a longer time preference, then I wouldn't mind even an hour or more... Good fresh content is the key.. and lots of real world comparison's or examples of implementation and success stories would be great! 30. I listen to podcasts on my way to and from work in the car. It's a half hour drive. (Sometimes I also listen when I walk around the block at night. Gotta get exercise in there somewhere.) 31. Show length doesn't really matter as long as the content is quality. 32. 15 minutes would be an ideal time for a show, long enough to supply us with good information, short enough to keep my attention. 33. 40 minute is a sweet spot 34. my Samsung yp-mt6x sometimes has problems dealing with long podcasts 35. Don't change. I know you have had audio problems a few times, but unrelated, all your podcast seem to be at a lower volume. I play it on a roadtrip FM device in my car and have to have the volume all the way up. Other podcasts (non-Novell) are clear at a half the volume. 36. The longer the better... 37. an Ideal show for me is about 40-45 minutes.. just my opinion. 38. not too long, or I have to deal with changing buses whilst listening! 39. This one is going to come down to personal preferences. Generally Id i can listen to a show in the time it takes me to drive around meeting customers then its a good show. 40. Even though we are a Windows shop, we are still running Netware 6.5 sp3. It is hard to keep 6.5 in our house with the pressure to go to Windows 2003 server. 41. I love it but I don't always have time to listen to the whole session and it's not the kind of thing you can have in the background. 42. Listen to it on the way to and from work. Is great to fill the drive time. One episode each way. 43. Longer than 20 minutes and it is tough to find the time. Less than 10 minutes and not enough information given. 44. 15 minutes is a good length... 45. Yeah, I picked the extremes. The reason is that sometimes you get a guest who's subject is worth a short discussion but it just kinda ends after that. There's nothing more really to be discussed and if you drag it out it will become tedious. Then you have someone like Jeremy who when interviewed can take you off into interesting tangents and you just don't want to cut them off. And at the end of the day, having a set length for the show is nice but for me not required. I'd rather have a quality show that sometimes lasts 90 minutes and other times only 10. 46. Most people are allready conditioned for a ~45 minute attention span, but if you have nothing to say, don't stretch it. 47. As with the last released episode, if multiple speakers are discussinig multiple technologies, a longer show is appropriate. 48. SUSE Rocks! 49. Be Podfather Leo LaPorte savy. A lot of us download podcasts and burn them to CDs, if we don't use them in a pod player. This lets us play them in the car where its illegal and unsafe to have a pod plugged into your ears while driving. So keep the shows small enough to still burn on a standard CD. Leo's stuff burns smoothly too without a lot of interruptions speedwise. This must have something to do with his software and how he edits. Get a faster server too. Download speeds ought to be faster from a Novell server for those of us fortunate enough to have a cable link. 50. If the show is too short you don't have enough time to have fun with it and if it's too long we might not have time to listen to the whole show. 51. Perfect for the drive to work. 52. An outline of what interview occurs at what length in the show would allow people to skip around to the interviews they want to listen to. 53. I like the Support part of the show, the Interviews, Asking 3 Tough Questions. 54. Two interviews a show broken into 30 minutes slices are nice. If there's only one interview then the show should have an "intermission" to allow folks to consume it in two parts. 55. less is a waste more on the same topic and you start to lose me a little. If they covered more topics then longer would be fine, but I understand wanting to concentrate on a few topics at a time. 56. About 30mins with greater frequency is better 57. an hour in the car to work is fine for me 58. Episode length is a non-issue, if a topic needs 6 hours to get in depth I'll spend 6 hours - if a topic however can be covered in it's entirety in less than 10 mins it's likely that it's not worth even airing on it's own. I'd rather have a lot of information with easy explanation and lots of in depth, insider stuff than superficial episodes. 59. Too short and I get fussy, but I don't want 15 minute shows to get forcefully stretched (though accidentally traveling offtanget I don't mind). 60. It takes me around 35 minutes to get to work. Keep it above 25 minutes and I'm pleased. :) 61. Another tricky descision... Depends on your release schedule. For a fortnightly release I would envisage a length of about 75-80minutes for a weekly it could be 45-60minutes. Length of the special bulletins/extras can be of any length, the bread and butter shows are the important ones. 62. 30min for those who cannot tell :) 63. I'd say 45 to 60 minutes is the sweet spot (able to digest in one listening session) 64. 45min. seems to be a sweet spot for a good interview covering both the personality of the interviewee and the technology they are working towards. It also provides a bit of time up front for corrections, house keeping items, and news bites. 65. When talking about new products or features, an accompanying presentation would be useful. 66. I'm on the road a lot and whith my iPod this makes time go FASTER !! 67. I prefer an hour show because you get more in but 30 to 45 minute shows are cool to as long as shows are released frequently 68. your susi linux is ready its wounderful show 69. Anything shorter than 10 minutes just doesn't seem worth it. All of the topics on the show so far contain at least 20 minutes of possible discussion material. 70. More in depth interviews/discussions 71. Depends on frequency, more shorter shows is just as good as fewer longer shows to me. 72. If the news is interesting I find the length of the shows are about right. I usually have the Podcast chugging away in the background while doing something else If something catches the ear I will rewind. 73. The longer the better as long as the content stays fresh.

For me the main 'casts that I listen to are tech related. LugRadio and yours are the two that I enjoy the most I think. The reason being is there is good discussion on the topics brought up. Even with yours being a marketing tool, you don't seem to avoid what's going on elsewhere. I also get DLtv, TLLTS (every so often a good guest is on), and TWiT if there's a good panel on (which is happening less and less). Linux Reality seems to have a good base but between Chess' delivery and target audience I really have to be interested in the topic on hand. And I've just discovered IT conversations and that one is interesting for specific topics. 50.

If there were a "tech" show, for the more savvy / geeky members of the audience, that would be cool. But, I'm not sure how it would play out. 59. Twit, Diggnation, Linux Link Tech Show, Lug Radio, DL.tv and sometimes Command N 60. Its in my top 5 of the 4 I listen to. 61. LugRadio PauldotCom security Weekly Linux Action Show Dr Karl Technet Radio Thing a week 62. Several 63. I don't listen to many and it is close behind lugradio 64. LUG radio is no.1 but not far behind and no swearing...good! 65. Lugradio, Engadget 66. LugRadio, The Skeptics guide to the Universe, Are we Alone?.. 67. Novell Open Audio is great, especially when there's interviews with the SUSE guys ;) 68. Its on my top 5, but I only listen to it when I can. To be honest I only listen to 4 and NOA is low on that list. But I listen to all episodes eventually. Thanks to modern technology things happen on my schedule. 69.
