> As some of you may know, professors at the Fuqua School of Business at
> Duke University have been conducting a study of Fedora, and have put
> together an online survey based on interviews they conducted with
> several dozen folks from the community.
> 
> We are now in the midst of our FINAL PUSH to get as many responses as
> we can.  This week is the last week for survey data.  If you've been
> waiting around, wait no more: this is your last, best chance to help.

> Their research goal is to focus more deeply on three primary themes
> that emerged from over 20 interviews they conducted with participants
> in the Fedora Project:
> 
>      o  Values that are relevant to participants (e.g., to what
>         extent is 'Open Source' a relevant value across the Fedora
>         Project?),
> 
>      o  Activities that participants engage in to help sustain the
>         community (e.g., to what extent is 'testing' a collaborative
>         activity across the Fedora Project?), and
> 
>      o  Tools participants use for communication or workflow (e.g.,
>         to what extent is 'Planet' or 'Koji' used across the Fedora
>         Project?).
> 
> The findings of this research will go a long way to helping us better
> understand what makes the Fedora community tick. I think it is a
> hallmark of our success as a community that academics are starting to
> study in detail the ins-and-outs of how our community works.
> 
> Please respond as soon as possible -- should take about 15 minutes of
> your time.  If you have any comments or concerns, please feel free to
