Dear Martin, This email is very misguided. Perhaps surprisingly to you, it is generally considered very rude to post questions/surveys to an open source project's mailing list without providing some clear introduction and explanation about specifically what the survey has to do with that project, how the survey results will be used, who you are, etc. The fact that your survey also doesn't even mention Sage makes this survey particularly rude.
I get the impression that you're going to try to use the results of this survey as part of work to create a business plan or something. If so, you should say so. If you want to start a company that does open source support, it's valuable to learn how to work with the community of volunteers who create that software. The best single bit of advice I have in that direction is try as hard as you can to be open and treat them with respect. -- William On Sun, Apr 25, 2010 at 2:07 PM, <[email protected]> wrote: > Is there an need for more open source math tools in > for-profit companies?
