Hi all!

I'm doing a research project on the motives of free software / open source software developers. This survey follows a somewhat different approach than some earlier studies and tries to incorporate concepts of social psychology to better understand the internal motivation of developers.

The questionnaire consists of 44 questions which should be scored on a scale from 1 to 7. According to test runs, completion of the questionnaire should take about 6 minutes. No registration required.

The questionnaire and more information about the survey can be found here:

*** http://foss-survey.at.tf ***

The survey will be online until the end of January. I hope to have the results online by mid February. If you want to be notified, please enter your email address in the appropriate box.

If you have questions or comments about this survey, please CC me or email me directly, because I won't be able to follow all the lists/forums.

Thank you. Your help is greatly appreciated.
