Hi all, My name is Kevin Carillo and I am a PhD student at Victoria University of Wellington (New Zealand). I am currently running a survey that aims at studying how the experience of a Perl community newcomer has an influence on this person's actions and project contributions in the community.
I am looking for people who joined the Perl community within the last 2 years. I am equally interested in hearing from people having had either positive or a negative experiences as newcomers. I have written a blog post<http://blogs.perl.org/users/kevin_carillo/2012/10/newcomer-experience-and-contributor-behavior-in-perl-and-other-foss-communities---survey.html> about the project in blogs.perl.org<http://blogs.perl.org>. The direct link to the survey is HERE<https://limesurvey.sim.vuw.ac.nz/index.php?sid=89971&lang=en>. Thanks for your help. Kevin Carillo
