[R-pkg-devel] Open Source Survey, conducted by GitHub

[Jenny Bryan]

Hi all,

Please consider completing this survey GitHub is running to study "open source software, the people that create it, their experience, and their relationship to the industry that depends on it".

Based on n = 2, it takes less than 10 mins. It's not about version control or hosting platforms, but rather about bigger questions in open source and characterizing the community.

For more context, below is the email I got when I expressed an interest in helping drum up responses from the R community.

> Hi Jennifer,
> 
> Thanks for your interest in having the R community participate in the Open Source Survey. We are ready to start running the survey for your community. Please share the link in the email template below. The survey will conclude on April 28.
> 
> If you have a way of delivering the survey directly to members of your community, such as a mailing list, then please prefer that. If you don't have a way of contacting community members directly, or it is not inclusive of the entire community, then a public forum is acceptable as long as it is specific to the people that are involved in your community. Avoid sharing it on forums that have a cross section of people from other communities, such as social media. The survey is intended for people that have demonstrated an interest in open source and have a connection with the community.

> Let us know if you have any questions or concerns.

Your anonymous answers will be released as part of an open data set that is freely available to researchers and members of the community to better understand the people who use and create open source technologies.
