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. Use this link to schedule a meeting with us.

We realize many of these time slots are not conducive for those around the world. We'd love to talk to you and will do our best to accommodate your time zone. Please contact the ColdFront admins to request an alternate meeting time.

Thank you so much for your assistance!
