[tdf-discuss] Survey on contributions

Dear all,
Kevin had asked me to publish his survey.

Find below his invitation:


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:

https://limesurvey.sim.vuw.ac.nz/index.php?sid=14153&lang=en

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

I will post news about my progress with this research, and the results  
on my blog: http://kevincarillo.org. If you have any questions, please  
contact me at Kevin.Carillo@vuw.ac.nz or my supervisors Sid Huff at  
Sid.Huff@vuw.ac.nz and Brenda
Chawner at Brenda.Chawner@vuw.ac.nz.
