Thanks, Tom.
I have used LimeSurvey to design the survey and it is indeed under a GPL license. For those who
want to save the survey and carry on some time later, you just have to click on the ‘Resume later’
button and you will get a popup asking you to enter your email address (don’t worry, I am not
saving the email addresses, it is all happening within LimeSurvey and I have no control). You will
then be sent an email giving you a link which when clicked will take you exactly where you had left
the survey.
I thought it was some convenient feature for those who are pretty busy and cannot dedicate 20
minutes in one go.
Please everyone, do not hesitate to give me any feedback about survey. Feedback is always good!
Kevin

Hi :)
The survey software is apparently released under a GPL licence and you can save the survey at any
point and then carry on later. It doesn't need to take much time although i can imagine a few
people agonising over non-Yes/No questions. It's multiple choice so just whizz through and then
maybe glance over the page and make corrections
It seems like a good thing to do but it's a free choice
Regards from
Tom :)

Thanks for those who have already taken part in the survey.
It has been brought to my attention that several questions refer to the notion of membership within
the LibreOffice community. By membership I am not asking about TDF membership, instead I am
referring to the point when you began contributing to the LibreOffice software project (developing,
reporting bugs, writing documentation, etc...). TDF members however fully qualify for taking part
in the survey. It will be interesting to compare both types of newcomer experience.
However, regular users are not included. I am definitely not saying that LibreOffice users are not
important for the community (since LibO would not exist without its users) but simply that the
survey targets the experience of new contributors when joining the LibO project. It encompasses the
tasks they had to undertake to learn how to contribute as well as the interactions with other
community members while learning about how to contribute to the software project.
Potential survey participants shall have joined the LibO community within the last 2 years. LibO
celebrated its 2-year birthday recently, and you may argue that everyone in LibO then joined within
the last 2 years. The survey applies to people who joined the LibO community since it was created
but who were not previously involved in the OpenOffice project.
The survey description has been updated to clarify both aspects.
For those who are at the LibO conference right now, have fun!

Hi :)
Hmmm, i still haven't looked but would be very disappointed if it really is only official members.
However fast the application membership process is it's unlikely to ever meet demand. I'm hoping
for a bit of a "snowball effect" = as more people become members it becomes faster to process the
applications.
I'm not an official member either and even amongst those that contribute a lot only a tiny
percentage are officially members. It seems likely that i might even be thrown off the lists soon
due to a few disagreements i am currently having with the BoD. I'm often in that position so it's
unlikely i would ever be allowed to be a member! On the other hand some in the BoD applaud me :)

Tom :)

Just to clarify, is this only for official members? There is a difference
between the main community and official members of TDF. Most people are not
official members, there's a long process that has some requirements to it.
I started the survey and stopped when I cam across Question #5, I'm not an
official member of TDF.
Please clarify and we'll move forward. Thanks!
Regards,
Joel

Hi :)
So, pretty much everyone in LO then! :) Even people that worked in OOo
for a decade and Star Office before that are likely to have been in LO for
2 years and a couple of weeks. LO celebrated it's 2nd birthday just a
couple of weeks ago. So everyone is eligible :)

Subject: [libreoffice-users] Survey about newcomer experience for
LibreOffice project contributors
Hi,
I am currently conducting a survey that looks at the influence of
newcomer
experience on contributor behavior and performance in Free/Open Source
Software communities.
If you have joined the LibreOffice community within the last 2 years, I
would like to invite you to complete the 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.
The survey is available HERE
<https://limesurvey.sim.vuw.ac.nz/index.php?sid=14153〈=en> .
It will be available until Monday, 29 October, 2012.
The data you provide will help understand the experience of newcomers
within
the LibreOffice community. It will also be used to refine the survey
before
it is later administered to contributors from other FOSS projects.
This survey is anonymous, and no information that would identify you is
being collected. The School of Information Management Human Ethics
Committee
has approved this research project.
If you know members of the LibreOffice community who you think would be
interested in completing it, please do not hesitate to let them know about
this research.
I will post news about my progress with this research, and the results on
my
blog: http://kevincarillo.org<http://kevincarillo.org/>.
Thanks.
