Hello,
I am a Ph.D. candidate in Instructional Technology at the University of Tennessee. For my dissertation, I am studying why people contribute to Free Open Source Software (F/OSS). I want to know what motivates you to join and contribute to F/OSS. The survey should take no more than 15 minutes and asks for no identifying information.
Please click on the following link to take the survey. If you are interested in the results of the survey, please send me a message.

Hi Hoda,
Interesting project. Unfortunately I was only able to get to the 4th
question before I ran into a little problem.
The question: "How long have you been contributing to this project?"
This question implies a time frame. Under the field, you say that "Only
numbers may be entered in this field," which unfortunately leaves
whatever someone inputs considerably ambiguous. If someone inputs a "5"
how do you know they have bee helping the project for 5 years, 5 months,
5 days, or 5 hours?
Thanks,
Sak.
