We are researching the motivation factors of Open Source software |
| 4 |
programmers and would like to ask your cooperation in our large-scale |
| 5 |
research. The research is performed for the Amsterdam Business School of |
| 6 |
the University of Amsterdam. Your participation would consist of |
| 7 |
completing an online survey to which we have linked below. Your |
| 8 |
participation is completely anonymous and the research publication will |
| 9 |
be freely available, including the results of the survey. |
| 10 |
|
| 11 |
The goal of the research is to better understand the motivations |
| 12 |
software programmers have for joining and contributing to an Open Source |
| 13 |
project. The insights gained from this research would help the |
| 14 |
development of theory for Information Management and could help |
| 15 |
practitioners better understand Open Source projects. Next to this, the |
| 16 |
publication of this research will increase the exposure of the |
| 17 |
development of Open Source software within the academic environment. |
| 18 |
Please follow the link to the online survey. |

| 21 |
15 minutes. Your time is highly appreciated by us. |
