Dear all,

I'm currently doing a research in sociology about social identity in 
KDE. This study addresses the community as a whole including the package 
maintainers, the translators, the developers, bug reporters, etc.
*We invite all contributing persons* to answer this questionnaire 
http://www.ired.org/kdesurvey/ It takes *15 minutes only*.

*A lucky respondent will receive an Amazon Voucher of 75 EURO*. The 
survey will end the 30 of August. People that have already responded are 
automatically included. The winner will be announced on this list.

After answering the questionnaire, you will receive a graph resuming 
your participation and will then be free to post it on our server 
(http://www.ired.org/kdesurvey/alluser.php), if you so desire. Please 
email me if you haven't received it, I have received some wrong mail 
addresses.

Thank you very much for your participation and to all people that 
already answered the questionnaire!

I sincerely apologize for the spammish nature of this e-mail, I don't 
mean to abuse this list.

This study aims to understand the processes of construction of a social 
identity in a mature Free/Libre Open Source Software project taking KDE 
as a case study. It aims to understand how this social identity evolves 
over time and how it is related to a participation trajectory (history 
of participation inside the project). We also want to understand the 
relation between social identity and more traditional dimensions such as 
socio-economic factors, motivation, gift dynamics and Free/Libre Open 
Source Software ethics.
