Survey: Relevance of Configuration Systems in Free and Open Source Software
Dear developers, contributors and caretakers of free and open source software. If you are involved in the development of free and open source software (FLOSS) you are the person we are looking for.
It would be a great help if you take this survey:
http://elektra.limequery.org/625192
It will be available till 18.07.2016 (anywhere on earth).
For every thoroughly and not anonymously finished survey € 40 cent will be donated to one of the following organizations of your choice:
For every thoroughly and not anonymously finished survey € 40 (at least € 200 in total) cent will be donated. The donation goes to one organisation of your choice. You need to enter your e-mail address to participate. Then you can select between following projects:
- LimeSurvey (LimeService, kindly hosts this survey) - SPI (General Donation: 0 A.D., LibreOffice, Debian, ArchLinux, …) - FSFE - GNOME - KDE - Mozilla (Firefox) - Wikimedia Foundation (Wikipedia)
So if you know anyone suited for this survey please feel free to share it.
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.
I don't know if it's just me, but you certainly should work on your wording...
While it seems there is a good chance this is a legit request, the text certainly reads like every other SPAM / phishing mail, especially
* Duplicated sentence * 40 cent or € 40? At least 200 cent or 200 €? What is it? Better use 0.40 €. * You claim to be from Vienna University. Why is there nowhere an affiliation on the survey / libelektra.org page? Why is there no contact information of you? Why do you use a gmail account and not your university account? * Surveys should *always* be anonymous. If this is a requirement by your sponsor say so, and in that case I hope this identifying data is not stored alongside the answers to the survey. Otherwise it's very unprofessional.

- 40 cent or € 40? At least 200 cent or 200 €? What is it? Better use
0.40 €.
Yes we had a long discussion on how to present this internationally. We
assumed that the wording cent should be clear as everyone knows it without the "," vs "." problem/difference in diverse countries.
- You claim to be from Vienna University. Why is there nowhere an
affiliation on the survey / libelektra.org page? Why is there no contact information of you? Why do you use a gmail account and not your university account?
I am not using my university mail in general because it is a temporary
mail. It will be disabled once i am done studying. This mail is used everywhere else, when i make commits etc. Here you can see the affiliation between elektra and the vienna university of technology: http://www.complang.tuwien.ac.at/cgi-bin/uncgi.cgi/prak_dipl1.cgi?kw=Linux&a...
- Surveys should *always* be anonymous. If this is a requirement by

It is clearly stated that the email address is needed for the sponsoring
part and i assume that it should be clear to you that this is mainly done to prevent abusement.
