FLOSS (Free/Libre/Open Source Software) survey

FLOSSPOLS

In this two-part survey, once again supported by the European Union, we would like to find out, first, how learning is organised and perceived within the FLOSS community - by which we mean the universe of all those who participate in FLOSS-related activities, regardless of their beliefs or degree of activity. We also want to understand better the role/situation of women within this broad community.

Participants are invited to take a survey at http://flosspols.org/survey/survey_part.php?groupid=sd
