Dear KDE developers,
My name is Andreas Schilling. I am a research assistant at the chair of
Information Systems and Services at Bamberg University. I would
appreciate it very much if you could give me some quick feedback
regarding your motivation and your experiences in KDE. Could you please
fill in a short questionnaire of multiple-choice questions? This will
take you no longer than 10 minutes.
From all survey participants who answered all questions, a randomly
picked person will win the current Google Nexus 4 phone.
This survey follows my previous work surveying KDE participants in the
Google Summer of Code. In my research I examine factors that keep
developers motivated and committed in their open-source projects.
Because the best way to find out about these factors is to directly ask
the people who are concerned, I revert to you. As soon as I finish my
research, I will publish a blog post with the anonymous aggregated
results of this survey, and I will compare them with the results of
other surveys with KDE developers such as with previous participants of
Google Summer of Code.
In order to reach a broad developer audience, I teamed up with Danny
Allen of the KDE Commit-Digest. Danny is currently asking all KDE
developers to complete/update their personal information for the
Commit-Digest. Danny and I thought this is a good opportunity for asking
you for feedback regarding your motivation and your experiences at KDE
so far. Participants of the Commit-Digest survey will be forwarded
automatically to this optional questionnaire.
You can find the Commit-Digest Survey (for people with KDE developer
accounts) and my questionnaire at:
https://commit-digest.org/data/
If you have any questions about this questionnaire or about my research,
please do not hesitate to contact me directly.
Best regards,
Andreas Schilling
