+1. We already have survey infrastructures setup for foundation use. Maybe next time someone comes along we can use their time to run a survey that the board approved and is conducted on our own infrastructure, under our own terms. behdad On 01/31/11 05:05, Michael Meeks wrote: > > These people are irritating ... three spams from the same group.

Re: [Fwd: GNOME Developer Survey]
I asked Sherae to stop sending reminders and immediately got an email agreeing saying there would be no more reminders. I will also check to make sure GNOME developers haven't been added to a spam list of any kind.

I'm not crazy about this survey or how it's been handled, either, but you don't *have* to deal with the spam any more than once. ;-) Sandy ___ foundation-list mailing list foundation-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/foundation-list

[Fwd: GNOME Developer Survey]
These people are irritating ... three spams from the same group. They shot themselves in the foot in the third paragraph with the "twenty minutes" IMHO. Can I suggest that the Board complains to these guys for hassling our contributors - and/or is this sanctioned - I assume it must be since they use the trademark in their 'GNOME developer survey' title. Furthermore - since these surveys are at least somewhat frequent, can I suggest that in future, the foundation acts as an intermediary: * to review the content of these surveys pwrt. brevity * to normalise some questions such that we have a consistent set of questions over time we can graph. * to broker and publish the complete raw data under some suitable open license. * provide some financial incentive to the foundation per respondant, rather than some uncertain prize * to do the mailing of questions themselves - and do this only once. HTH, Michael. -- michael.me...@novell.com <><, Pseudo Engineer, itinerant idiot --- Begin Message --- Dear GNOME Developer, We recently asked you to complete a survey and the purpose of this email is to remind you to complete it. This is your final reminder; we will stop collecting responses February 11th, so please complete it before then. We will announce the winner of the $200 drawing before March 1st. Good Luck! Dr. Jim Herbsleb, Professor, Carnegie Mellon University and a team of researchers from University of Pittsburgh (including Dr. Sherae Daniel) and the University of Louisville are conducting a research project that seeks to identify factors that lead developers to be active contributors to GNOME. To collect data for this study we invite you to complete a 20 minute online survey. Please beware - some questions may appear to be duplicated, but there are important differences. Wording is sometimes repeated so we can gather responses that reflect your perspective as a GNOME community member, your perspective as a corporate employee, and your personal values. The perspective we want you to use is stated at the top of the page on which the question appears. We realize that your time is valuable. Here are a few of the reasons we believe it would be beneficial to participate: · You will be supporting research that can help you and GNOME. · The amount of time required – 20 minutes – is minimal. · Your completion of the survey will enter you in a drawing to receive one of two $200 gift cards. Aggregate, anonymous (i.e., with personally identifying information removed) results will be shared with the GNOME community. Thank you for your attention.
