The results are more than enlightening to me. The surveys definitely are useful and insightful. They sharply illustrate that open source developers are far more pragmatic than certain people in the audience would like us to be. Given that some of those people have been very disruptive, it for me absolutely was needed to confront them with numerical reality. I hope that the foundation board will learn from your surveys and will conduct them for most of the future foundation-board decisions too. I also hope the foundation board will respect the results of these surveys. The results are invaluable. I disrespect people who claim that this last survey has intentional bias. For me they are being intellectually dishonest. > The survey can be found at http://www.surveymonkey.com/s/F8DG25Q > A summary of the responses received so far can be found at > http://bit.ly/74WQBI > > Thanks in advance for your participation.
