The Empirical and Applied Software Engineering Lab (EASEL) at the University of Maryland Baltimore County (UMBC) would like to extend an invitation to you to participate in a focus group, and to accept a $150 contribution (see below for details) from us as an incentive. We believe that your participation would be a good opportunity for you to share ideas among yourselves about Krita, and would be a valuable contribution to our research in software quality and development productivity. We are studying the changes that Open Source Software goes through when releasing a new version or making other modifications to the code, to find a way to predict when these changes will become problematic, and develop solutions to make them cost-effective and time-efficient. Hence, we would like for you to share information with us during a focus group about the changes your code has gone through, the causes for these changes, what kinds of changes are problematic, and how you have handled these. We would contribute $150 to your project *should we get 5-7 team members* to participate in our focus group. These members should - Have been part of the team for about 2 years or long enough to have seen a few significant changes on existing code base, and - Contributed to the code or significantly to the project in the past six months, and - Be at least 18 years old Please let us know should you have any additional questions, and if you would be interested in participating. We thank you in advance for your cooperation.
