Perhaps some of you can help spread the word:

For wide distribution

I'm a PhD student in public policy at UMass Boston doing research on
what motivates members of free and open source software communities.

I'm looking at ways that public policy could increase the quantity and
quality of contributions to free software and open source software
(defined as projects with an approved open source license -
http://opensource.org/).

I have a professor that says if I can provide some convincing data on
how to best support free and open source software, he thinks he can
get the ideas on President Obama's desk. I am conducting a survey -
http://www.surveymonkey.com/s.aspx?sm=SA1BorCQ_2b9E6NSE_2bNCKavw_3d_3d
and I need over 500 responses by May 1st in order to answer my key
research questions.

One lucky respondent will have $100 donated to the FOSS project of their
choice.

Questions about this survey can be directed to me at
felicia.sullivan at umb.edu. Thanks for your input.

Acknowledgement

I want to thank my FOSS developer go-to-guys -- Dan MacNeil, Peter
Bull, Stéphane Alnet, and Bill de la Vega -- for providing critical
feedback on this survey.
