Re: Marketing and branding for The Perl Foundation (TPF) poll

[haj]

I fail to find any indication that this survey is actually done on behalf of the Perl Foundation. TPF doesn't mention it, though their recent article Can you help TPF with community communication? or their blog in general, are suitable locations. The survey does not even claim to be originated by TPF, either.

So this could be just another e-mail harvesting scam.

Grinnz on irc suggests some Reddit post at https://www.reddit.com/r/perl/comments/i48j6v/the_perl_foundation_tpf_brand_values_survey/ as the original.

There is a person named Nige Hamilton in the TPF, so maybe the user nige-123 is them.

A poll about branding, without the branding of TPF. Make of that what you will.

Yeah, I've checked that Reddit post, too. nige-123 seems to have joined immediately before posting this, and hasn't been seen on Reddit before. They also didn't bother to respond to brian d foy's question, who seems to have similar concerns.

The Reddit article just threw a link over the fence, without any context. This is careless, to say the least.

It is official, please see TPF Survey: Marketing and Branding.

Thanks for the clarification!

I saw it via TPF's news feed, but you beat me on pointing to the article. The survey closes in six days, I hope their report also includes information how they distributed the link to the survey.

There is nothing there.

Well, there's this post on perl.module-authors: https://www.nntp.perl.org/group/perl.module-authors/2020/08/msg11108.html (though of course that could be faked too).

I found out about this poll on Twitter when it was posted by Dean Hamstead. I found out Mark Keating, the chair of TPF marketing, is behind the poll. That is all I know at this time.
