Introduction

As TSC works on developing the roadmap for Magma development over future quarters, we want to solicit and incorporate feedback from companies doing commercial deployments of Magma. This feedback can come in 2 forms:

  • Responses to short survey via email (discussed in TSC 5/2/22)

  • Review and rankings of proposed roadmap items (TBD)

To facilitate the collection of this feedback, we use the below table which captures the commercial deployments of Magma with some attributes.

Survey Questions

Below is a proposed email template TSC members can use to reach out to Magma deployers. 

-------------------------------------------------

Dear <blah>,

The Magma Technical Steering Committee is developing a feature roadmap to guide development efforts in the Magma community. As an operator deploying Magma for commercial services we seek your feedback on three key questions.  

Deployment Metrics:

  • Deployment start date:

  • Current number of active subs:

  • Current number of active sites:

  • Projected number of subs in 12 months:

  • Magma version(s) in deployment:

What are the pain point you experience in deployment, operation, or development of your magma network?

What feature gaps have you observed in Magma and how do they impact your business?

Is security up to your needs?

Please respond with your answers to above by May 13th. 

Best Regards, 

Magma TSC
