Hello, My name is Patrick Carlson and I am a graduate student in Human Computer Interaction (HCI) at Iowa State University. I’m researching the socialization process for two large Open Source communities, Mozilla and KDE. As part of the research, I will be developing a web-based tool to help visualize and understand relevant data. This would include data such as source code version control, email mailing list posts, and bug reports. As a preliminary step, I would appreciate if you would be willing to fill out a short survey that outlines the demographic and socialization process as well as your thoughts. I will be linking your responses to public participation data surrounding KDE such as source code commits, email posts, and bug reports. All survey results will be kept confidential and any published results will be kept anonymous. As the survey is only surrounding KDE, I ask that you only fill out the survey if you feel you are part of the KDE community or you want to join the KDE community.
I would certainly appreciate help in distributing the survey link and getting the word out. Feel free to Tweet, blog, etc. The survey link will be active until July 5, 2013. There is no compensation for participating and you must be 18 years of age or older. http://vrac.us2.qualtrics.com/SE/?SID=SV_a4cW5vnslXuI2Ut Thank you for your time. -Patrick Carlson
