Dear KOffice Administrators,
I am a professor at the University of Maryland, and I am writing you
because I would like to include KOffice in a research study about users'
perceptions and decisions regarding open source software. This study is
being supported by the National Science Foundation (http://www.nsf.gov/), and the ultimate goal is to \
learn what factors are most important to facilitating the successful adoption of open source software in \
organizations. In the initial phase of this research we are asking a few
open source project administrators to help us recruit approximately 25
users to answer a short survey (posted at http://opensource.livesurveys.com/).
As an administrator of KOffice we would like your assistance in
encouraging users of KOffice to answer the survey. If you agree to participate, we will be happy to send \
you a summary of the results of the research, and if more than 10 users of KOffice participate,
then we will provide you with a summary of results specific to KOffice.
Also, in exchange for their participation in the study, users of KOffice
will be offered a $25 gift certificate to Amazon.com.
If you are willing to participate, please send a note to your user mailing
list(s) asking people to complete the survey located at http://opensource.livesurveys.com/. For your \
convenience, we have attached a sample email message below that you might modify or use as-is.
Thank you very much for your attention and help with the research.
Best regards,
Katherine Stewart
