Hi - I'm conducting an informal, non-scientific survey with the aim of trying to understand within an order of magnitude how much it costs folks to contribute to open source software.
If any of you have 30 seconds and feel like answering 3 questions, please mail your responses back to me. Please do NOT send your responses to the entire list. Questions: 1. What country do you live in? 2. Did you contribute time to any open source development efforts in 2005? (*) 3. If the answer to 2 is yes, how much would you estimate your out-of-pocket costs were in 2005? (**) * Where "contribute" and "open source" are defined any way you feel is appropriate. ** Out-of-pocket costs are direct personal expenditures not reiumbursed by your employer. Your time is worth nothing for purposes of this calculation. Examples of costs might be web hosting, computers, or directly related travel. Thanks! Carl P.S. Privacy policy: I will not put your name on a mailing list or in any other way release your name or email address. Any results released will be aggregated over the entire survey population. _______________________________________________ Ietf mailing list Ietf@ietf.org https://www1.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/ietf
