Your feedback counts: the Snappy onboarding experience
In this session we want your feedback on your Snappy and Snapcraft onboarding experience:
- How were you welcomed into the world of Snappy? Was the documentation sufficient? Were you able to find your way around?
- We are planning some changes to the documentation and would like to present them and get feedback.
- If you are a device builder, we would specifically like to get your input as well, so we can improve our device builder documentation.
