Hi All,
Hope you don't mind me posting this here but I could use your help with some
research.
I'm doing a Masters <http://gradschool.cs.tcd.ie/mscmis/> thesis in Trinity
at the moment on the subject of Open Source projects and their efficiency.
Part of the research involves looking at some of the motivations developers
and users have in using open source.
I've created a survey (using phpsurveyor) which guides participants in
ascertaining their reasons for developing / using open source. I'll be using
the results as some sort of empirical evidence showing developers and users
motivation.
If you have 5 minutes I'd really appreciate you taking the time to complete
it. As a bonus I'm offering a prize pool up to €200 (€50 per 50 participants
up to €200) to be given to those who would like to be entered into a raffle.
I'll also give the results and / or a copy of the thesis once its completed
to anyone who's interested.
