TOPIC 1 - Open source participation survey on contributor incentives - Malvika
ACTIONS:

  • Help pre-test a survey on the benefits that participants get from open source – and what benefits the people who leave open source were looking for but didn’t find
    QUESTIONS:
  • The survey seeks to understand the incentives that drive people to reduce their involvement in open source. Existing research on open source focuses on the “wins” – i.e., understanding the motives of participants who invest time in open source. We would like to understand the “losses”, i.e., participants who leave open source and find rewards more suited to their needs in doing something else. What value or rewards are contributors seeking? How does value in open source compare to other options? Ultimately how can we improve participation incentives in open source to increase the value generated?
  • What about a “promoted tile” on Firefox Dev Edition? Most of those users have contact with FOSS and could be target for survey
  • My email ID is malvikar[at]gmail.com
