Hi,
I would like to request your participation in a survey on
Open Source Organizational Culture,
which will provide valuable insight into how Open Source projects are run,
how their participants act, how they might change going forward, and how
particular Open Source projects compare with one another and with
traditional business cultures. The survey will take 10-15 minutes to
complete.
http://bit.ly/osocas2014
*Why?*
The survey will be used as part of my thesis on Open Source Organizational
Culture at BI Norwegian Business School (www.bi.no/en, or www.bi.edu), but
in true Open Source spirit the raw - but anonymized - results will be open
for all. So, your Open Source project will be able to massage and dissect
the results any way you wish, and see how you compare with other projects
out there.
Up until now, most research in Open Source culture has been based on mining
mailing lists to find out how people act, who they interact with, and how
projects organize themselves.
In this research we would rather ask the participants directly about how a
project is managed and what should change for the project to be
spectacularly successful.
*When?*
The survey is open now through May 1st.
*Where?*
The bit.ly address brings you to the following survey

Remember that you can save your progress at any time and come back to the
survey at a later point when you have time to finish it.
*Who are you?*
My name is Marius Storm-Olsen, and I am currently working on a thesis on
Open Source Organizational Culture. I've been an active part of Open Source
for years, most notably on the Qt and Git projects. Although I have my own
experiences to draw on in the thesis, they do not qualify for the Open
Source community at large, hence the survey.
*How to help?*
If you want to help, feel free to forward this email to any Open Source
project you would want to participate the survey. Once you have send the
invitation, please either send me an email with the name of the project, or
update the table shown on
https://github.com/mstormo/OSOCAS/wiki
I do hope you can participate, and thank you for your consideration!
Best regards,
Marius Storm-Olsen
