Hello everyone! =F0=9F=91=8B

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:
=E2=9C=85 How and why people contribute (or don=E2=80=99t) to OSS
=E2=9C=85 The role of financial and non-financial incentives in OSS partici=
pation
=E2=9C=85 How free-riding affects project quality, security, and long-term
maintenance

=F0=9F=94=97 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! =F0=9F=99=8C
