ColdFront User Community Interviews

As a requirement of our NSF POSE grant, our team is participating in the NSF i-Corps training program for building open source ecosystems. As part of this training, we will be required to interview 100 people about ColdFront. We need your help!

The interviews are expected to take approximately 30 minutes and will need to be conducted between 1/20/26 - 2/25/26. We're looking for:
• current users
• those who are actively testing it
• those who have looked at it in the past but decided not to use it
• those who you might know of that are not aware of ColdFront but are using something else for managing their resources
• folks not just from HPC centers but anyone that might need to manage access to resources (shared scientific instruments, for example)

We'd like to interview a broad range of people - support staff, developers, center administrators, end users - so please help us share the word. We can interview multiple people from the same organization if you have different roles. You can indicate your interest by filling out this form and we'll contact you to schedule a Zoom meeting.

Our largest blocks of interviews will be scheduled Tuesday, January 20 - Friday, January 23 from 3-6pm ET but we'll have many other slots available to accomodate time zones across the world. Thank you so much for your assistance!
