> SURVEY INVITATION MESSAGE:
>
> Subject: Newcomer experience and contributor behavior in LibreOffice and
> other FOSS communities - Survey
>
> I am a PhD candidate in the School of Information Management at Victoria
> University of Wellington, and my research topic is about the influence of
> newcomer experience on contributor behaviour and performance in Free/Open
> Source Software communities.
>
> If you have joined the LibreOffice community within the last 2 years, I
> would like to invite you to complete an online survey. I am interested in
> hearing from people who are either technical or non-technical contributors,
> and who have had either positive or negative newcomer experiences.
>
> The data you provide will help gain insights about the experience of
> newcomers within the LibreOffice community. It will also be used to improve
> the survey before it is later administered to contributors from other FOSS
> projects.
>
> This survey is anonymous, and no information that would identify you is
> being collected. The results of the research may be deposited in the
> library's institutional repository or presented at conferences or published
> as articles in professional or academic journals. You may request to be
> emailed the results of this research. Email addresses are stored in a
> separate database and cannot be linked to participant responses. The School
> of Information Management Human Ethics Committee has approved this research
> project.
>
> I expect the survey to take around 20 minutes of your time.
>
> If you know members of the LibreOffice community who you think would be
> interested in completing it, please do not hesitate to let them know about
> this research.
>
> The survey is available at:

>
> It will be available until Monday, 29 October, 2012.
