Hi everyone, Peter is a PhD student at University of Victoria who is looking into how open source projects perform peer reviews. I've met him a few times and he's a good guy - so if you could please take the time to fill out his survey below, it'd be most appreciated. =)
Thanks! -- justin --- Greetings Apache developers, The purpose of this study is to understand how peer reviews are conducted in Free and Open Source Software projects. We are writing to you as a team of researchers from the department of Computer Science at the University of Victoria, BC, Canada. We are looking for Apache http developers who have in the past or currently conduct regular peer reviews on this project. Should you wish to consider participation, please go to http://helium.cs.uvic.ca/phpESP/public/survey.php?name=peer_review_apache_httpd You may participate in a survey which takes between 10 to 25 minutes and/or an interview which takes up to 1 hour. As the principal investigator, I would be happy to talk with you in order to answer any questions you might have. My contact details are below. Sincerely, Peter Rigby Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] www: http://www.cs.uvic.ca/~pcr Research Team: Peggy Storey ([EMAIL PROTECTED]), Daniel German ([EMAIL PROTECTED]), Laura Cowen, Ahmed Hassan P.S. If you are interested in our quantitative findings regarding the Apache peer review processes, I will be happy to send you a copy of our paper that appeared in the 30th International Conference on Software Engineering, "Open Source Software Peer Review Practices: A Case Study of the Apache Server".
