Jeffrey Carver, Rosanna Guadagno, Debra McCallum, and Mr. Amiangshu Bosu, University of Alabama, and Dr. Lorin Hochstein, University of Southern California, are conducting a survey of open-source software developers. This survey seeks to understand how developers on distributed, virtual teams, like open-source projects, interact with each other to accomplish their tasks. You must be at least 19 years of age to complete the survey. The survey should take approximately 15 minutes to complete. If you are actively participating as a developer, please consider completing our survey. Here is the link to the survey: <a href="http://goo.gl/HQnux" target="_blank">http://goo.gl/HQnux</a> We apologize for inconvenience and if you receive multiple copies of this email. This survey has been approved by The University of Alabama IRB board.
