I would like to gently remind anyone interested that the survey will be closed on 18.07.2016. As stated in the previous mailing we are interested in the experience and opinion of people involved in both FLOSS and configuration systems. This includes developers who use or have used configuration related artefacts in their contributions. e.g. also accessing and using environment variables for configuration.

As concern of my credibility where raised on two mailing lists I would like to be clearer in this regard.
For concerns regarding using a gmail address: I barely use my university email, only when explicitly needed. Why? Because it is a temporary mail address. Once I finished my studies it will be deactivated. Also I use my gmail address for contributions. If you still have any concerns feel free to contact me at e1026292 at tuwien ac at or check my github profile https://github.com/sirblackheart.
As for concerns regarding the Elektra Initiative itself you can see its members at https://github.com/ElektraInitiative. In addition you can see offered thesis at http://www.complang.tuwien.ac.at/cgi-bin/uncgi.cgi/prak_dipl1.cgi?kw=Compile...
We also hold regular meetings. If you are living near Vienna and are interested in the topic of configuration systems in FLOSS, feel free to contact us to be added to the mailing list.
best regards, Gabriel Rauter

As part of the ongoing research on the topic of configuration systems in free and open source software here at Vienna University of Technology, we would like to invite you to participate in this short survey. It should only take you 15 minutes, promised!
By supporting us through this survey, you help the research by providing relevant input on this topic. In addition the anonymised results will be released under an open licence, so other projects with involvement in configuration in free and open source software can benefit from it too.
In addition the results will be anonymised and made freely available. Just leave your address at the end of the survey and we will send it to you.
For further questions regarding this survey or interest in the research of configuration systems feel free to contact as atsurvey@...3407...
If you have not done it yet, we would appreciate if you take our survey at http://elektra.limequery.org/625192 before the 18.07.2016.
