Analysis Approach
Qualitative Analysis
Research team independently reviewed survey responses to identify re-occurring

Relational Dynamics
Theme One
Relational Dynamics
“Did you mean the communication between <NAME REMOVED> and the eZ publish community? Yes, it’s very
nice!”
“I think the communication by <NAMES REMOVED>… is great, but one gets the feeling that they may not have the
best communication with eZ Systems.”
Responses suggest a distinction among organizational agents (those working within eZ Publish community) and the organization (eZ Systems) when it comes to
perceptions about communication.
Decision Making Process
Theme Two
Decision Making Process
“Maybe more trusted people could make/develop eZ Publish. More people from community could become
professional or ‘half-professional’ eZ partners, developers…”
“… It’s harder to give confidence to an open-source community driven by an editor than a community driven
by a democratic or autocratic authority.”
Responses suggest a significant interest in understanding the dynamics that exist in terms of the decision making process, “rights” of the community”,
and the benefits of commitment to community.
Member Development
Theme Three
Member Development
“Creating the badge/grade/xp/achievement system…”
“Focus heavily on the noob. Hard core devs are already here, but there are not that many in the world. Grooming noobs is a growth opportunity.”
Responses focused on interest in developing & nurturing the growth of the community via technical (e.g., achievement system & webinar features) and social adjustments (e.g., training and mentorship for
new members & inexperienced developers).

Conduct interviews with a variety of eZ Publish community members and eZ to further refine the
themes identified in the eZ Share survey.
Next Steps
Basis to develop action items to improve community relations, decision making process, and product development to make the
eZ Share community a “killer” community.
Potential Benefits
Need to develop a deeper understanding of the relationships within the eZ Share community.
Overarching Finding
If you are a member of the eZ Share Community,
we want to hear about what makes you tick and what you think makes a
“killer” community!
Interested in being interviewed?
