I have been asked to forward the following information about a survey for FLOSS (Free, Libre and Open Source Software) developers. I know the people who are conducting this survey and I value their work, so I can only encourage people to participate.
The EU-funded FLOSSPOLS project is carrying out a survey of developers worldwide. This is a follow-up to the original FLOSS (Free/Libre/Open Source Software) survey in 2002, one of the first and most comprehensive surveys of developers - who they are, how they work and why they do it. The new survey aims to provide an update, include new developers, and answer some of the questions that were raised by the first one: in particular, on the role of developer communities for learning skills and employment generation, and on the low level of participation by women. More information and the questionnaire are available at http://flosspols.org/survey/survey_part.php?groupid=mmd (Note that Amaya blogged about this survey a few months ago, but I'm sure not everyone follows Planet Debian.) -- Martin Michlmayr [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
