[dev] Why contribute to OpenOffice?

2008-12-02 Thread Baytiyeh, Hoda
 Hello,

I am a Ph.D. candidate in Instructional Technology at the University of
Tennessee. My dissertation focuses on what motivates people to
contribute to F/OSS projects. Though it may seem obvious to you, many
non-programmers are still suspicious of OSS and think there must be a
catch. Can you help me to demonstrate why talented programmers are
willing to work for free? My survey should take no more than 15 minutes
and asks for no identifying information. 

Please click on the following link to take the survey. If you are
interested in the results of the survey, please send me a message. This
is my second request for participation; if you responded already, please
ignore this request.

Your help is highly appreciated.

Thanks,

Hello,

I am a Ph.D. student in Instructional Technology at the University of 
Tennessee.  I am conducting research about what motivates people to contribute 
to Open Source Software for free. OpenOffice is one of the applications I am 
targeting in my research. I would like to send my survey to people who are 
involved in the development and not to the users. Is there any mailinglist for 
all the contributors in OpenOffice that I can use?

Your help is highly appreciated.
Thanks,
Hoda.
