[Test-Announce] Fedora research survey. Test folks, please help.

[Greg DeKoenigsberg]

Test folks: you all are underrepresented in the survey data.  In this 
final push, we'd love to see as much love from testers/QA folk as we can 
possibly get.  Thanks so much.

All,

As some of you may know, professors at the Fuqua School of Business at Duke 
University have been conducting a study of Fedora, and have put together an 
online survey based on interviews they conducted with several dozen folks from 
the community.

You can access the survey here:

http://www.projectassessment.org/fedora/

Their research goal is to focus more deeply on three primary themes that 
emerged from over 20 interviews they conducted with participants in the Fedora 
Project:

        o  Values that are relevant to participants (e.g., to what
           extent is 'Open Source' a relevant value across the Fedora
           Project?),

        o  Activities that participants engage in to help sustain the
           community (e.g., to what extent is 'testing' a collaborative
           activity across the Fedora Project?), and

        o  Tools participants use for communication or workflow (e.g.,
           to what extent is 'Planet' or 'Koji' used across the Fedora
           Project?).

The findings of this research will go a long way to helping us better 
understand what makes the Fedora community tick. I think it is a hallmark of 
our success as a community that academics are starting to study in detail the 
ins-and-outs of how our community works. 

Please respond as soon as possible -- should take about 15 minutes of your 
time.  If you have any comments or concerns, please feel free to email me.

Thanks again for taking the time to answer these questions.
