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. |
