Hello everyone! 👋

I am conducting research for my PhD dissertation on the political economy
of Open Source Software (OSS), focusing on how free-riding, responsibility,
and incentives impact the sustainability of OSS projects. If you are a
developer, contributor, maintainer, or user of OSS, your insights are
invaluable!

This survey aims to understand:
✅ How and why people contribute (or don’t) to OSS
✅ The role of financial and non-financial incentives in OSS participation
✅ How free-riding affects project quality, security, and long-term
maintenance

🔗 https://forms.gle/mxFBLSRvCC1XRzTA7

The survey takes only about 5-10 minutes and is completely anonymous. Your
participation will help shed light on crucial challenges in OSS development
and contribute to academic research on improving the sustainability of
open-source communities.

Feel free to share this with other OSS developers and communities. Thank
you for your time and valuable input! 🙌
