Hi everyone, I'm a PhD student at UCL Computer Science (and former Xubuntu dev) doing research on how people multitask and use documents across multiple applications. I'm soon to recruit participants who use Ubuntu Vivid and are based in the UK a 2 month long study, and am currently looking for one person to conduct a pilot study.
Roughly, the study involves installing some software that collects data about your app and file usage (a bit like GNOME Zeitgeist), uploading the data to our server, being interviewed at UCL for an hour, installing some more software, using it for 1 or 2 weeks and going through a last interview. I will not keep or publish any of the data collected during this studty, it's only used for testing purposes in preparation for the real study. You will be paid around £50 for participating (participants to the real study get paid up to £100 since I pay them for the data I collect over 2 months). You can read more about the study protocol here: https://study.cs.ucl.ac.uk/multitasking/web/information (note the website might be down for a while following a power surge in the UCL neighbourhood; backed up at http://sidi.mupuf.org/files/multitasking-study-info-1.pdf). If you're interested, please drop me an email at [email protected]. Thanks, -- Steve Dodier-Lazaro PhD Student University College London Free Software Developer
