Strangely there were some parts in English and some parts in German. Though, enough English I could understand what was going on. It took me longer to read this thread. -- GPG FINGERPRINT 4096 KEY 8D8B F0E2 42D8 A068 572E BF3C E8F7 3234 7257 E65F https://keybase.io/samrocketman ___ gimp-developer-list mailing list List address:gimp-developer-list@gnome.org List membership: https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gimp-developer-list List archives: https://mail.gnome.org/archives/gimp-developer-list
Re: [Gimp-developer] Two-minute(!)-survey on motivation and free time contribution of open source developers
Dear Alex, dear Jehan, First off, Alex, you are completely right, it was the wrong link. This is the correct one: https://de.surveymonkey.com/s/MFKXYLP Beside this, I am happy to answer to your concerns. Of course, there are overlaps with previous research, and there has been a lot of research on the topic. However, what I want to do is get an idea of whether and how the free time sacrifice of open source developers is linked to the type of motivation. I know that there are studies that also included this, but they did not really satisfy me regarding this particular matter. Also, some studies already screw up on the very basic step of the correct categorization of sorts of motivation. I plan to accomplish this step better. I know that its being very short is rather unconventional. I did it like this, because I believe that it still addresses the gist of what I want to find out and to not employ too much of anyone’s time. I am truly sorry that it still bothers some of you, that was not my intention. Jehan, I honestly did not expect that people would want to read more about the background – I meant to keep my message as short as possible. But now I wrote the purpose of the study, which I’m composing for a paper in an Open Source class at a technical university. Also, I am more than happy to share the results once I believe I have gathered enough info!! I know I can just promise this right now, but I will do! Haha, and I hope I could do you a small favor by replying after all :) Best regards, Stefan ___ gimp-developer-list mailing list List address:gimp-developer-list@gnome.org List membership: https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gimp-developer-list List archives: https://mail.gnome.org/archives/gimp-developer-list

Here is the link to the survey: https://www.surveymonkey.com/s.aspx?sm=sm1HkzrisXKbw2EQMKdG7Q_3d_3d I highly appreciate the time you take for filling it out! I think the real problem is that we receive many enquiries like this every year on this mailing list, asking us to fill out some survey for some research. But we are never told what this is really about. Also once we filled it out, the student never share with us any result of the research (even though they even sometimes promise us from the start they will send us the outcome of the research), and usually they massively send emails to many projects but don't even bother making any individual answer when the project contributors email back the student to ask for more info about what this is about (like our emails! Let's see if we'll get any answer!). So I am like the others here, I tend not to fill out any such survey anymore.

Also, how is your research any different from tons of researches on motivation in free software projects, and how is the bit about just three questions going to sell the idea that this is something serious? It's not a trick question, I'm genuinely puzzled.
