Survey: Newcomer experience and contributor behavior

[Posted November 14, 2012 by ris]

Kevin Carillo, a PhD student at the School of Information Management of Victoria University of Wellington in New Zealand, is conducting a survey on newcomer experiences. From Carillo's invitation: "If you have joined one of the following FOSS communities within the last 3 years (after January 2010): Debian, GNOME, Gentoo, KDE, Mozilla, Ubuntu, NetBSD, or OpenSUSE, I would like to invite you to complete an online survey. I am interested in hearing from people who are either technical or non-technical contributors, and who have had either positive or negative newcomer experiences."

In fact, they are actually interested in several other communities, too. The full list is "Debian, Fedora, FreeBSD (including PC-BSD), GNOME, Gentoo, KDE, Mozilla, NetBSD, OpenSUSE, Python, Ubuntu or Wikimedia"
