Community research

[Szabolcs Feczak]

Hi everybody,

I know it is a bit off-topic, but I am doing a research at uni
about online communities (like the Linux community itself),
and I need primary data, so if some of you would kind enough
to donate his time and take my survey at:

http://q.sierraforce.com/

Would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you all,

keep up the good work

Cheers

Supposedly gave the link to all friends and/or forums in the area.
Yes, this shows one thing: LKML is largely not interested in surveys.
Way too many students decide to take surveys (which are not even
LKML-centric!), it is getting boring - that is my impression.

They all read their e-mail 6 hours ago, and the US is just getting to work? :)

(That, and probably 8 guys in Hungary who decided to be cute and voted 55 times
each, or everybody at a school, or any one of a zillion other ways that surveys
suffer from self-selection bias. ;)
