Xen devel - May 2004 - FASD project: Online survey launched

Dear Open Source developer

I am doing a research project on "Fun and Software Development" in
which I kindly invite you to participate.
You will find the online survey under http://fasd.ethz.ch/qsf/. The
questionnaire consists of 53 questions and you will need about 15 minutes to
complete it.

With the FASD project (Fun and Software Development) we want to define the
motivational significance of fun when software developers decide to engage in
Open Source projects. What is special about our research project is that a
similar survey is planned with software developers in commercial firms. This
procedure allows the immediate comparison between the involved individuals and
the conditions of production of these two development models. Thus we hope to
obtain substantial new insights to the phenomenon of Open Source Development.


With many thanks for your participation,
Benno Luthiger


PS:
The results of the survey will be published under
http://www.isu.unizh.ch/fuehrung/blprojects/FASD/.
We have set up the mailing list fasd@webboard.ethz.ch for this study. Please see
http://fasd.ethz.ch/qsf/mailinglist_en.html for registration to this mailing
list.
