Incentives in Open Source Participation

[Dyvik Chenna]

Hey All,

The Connected Devices Contributor Experience Research study by Mozilla
sought to understand why contributors invest time and effort into open
source projects. The study carried out in-depth interviews with active
participants to examine their motivations to contribute as well as pain
points in their journey.

Building on Connected Devices Contributor Experience Research, we are
currently conducting research, supported by Mozilla, to understand what
incentives people to reduce or stop contributing. Some questions that
interest us are: What value is a contributor seeking from open source
participation? How can this value be measured against the value derived
from other activities? If there are individuals who are qualified to
participate in open source but are not doing so, then what are they doing
instead? Are alternative activities displacing open source by providing
greater value? How can we improve participation and increase the value
generated by the open source experience?

*To uncover the incentives behind decreased participation, we have
developed a survey: *https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/CJZVY3J.

The survey is anonymous and takes about 10–15 minutes to complete. Check it
out! We would really appreciate your feedback. If you are interested to
discuss more about our project, please email us at malv...@hotmail.com.
