This analyst organisation is asking about Open Source adoption. Whilst all the questions aren’t relevant to all of us It would be useful if OS4B members could respond, and maybe even pass onto open source friends and family(!)

The results will be interesting, but only significant if enough folk respond.

Regards,

CAOS Open Source Adoption Survey

November 9th, 2009 by Ingrid Catlin

The 451 Group Given current economic conditions, there is considerable interest in open source software and whether open source licensing can help users lower the cost of enterprise computing compared to traditional proprietary licensing.

The 451 Group would like you to contribute to its CAOS Open Source Adoption Survey covering end user attitudes to the potential financial benefits of open source. If you would like to participate, fill out the survey now.

In return for your contribution, you will receive a copy of the research results, which will be delivered in an update to The 451 Group’s second Commercial Adoption of Open Source (CAOS) research report “Cost Conscious: A practical guide for understanding and calculating the financial benefits of open source for enterprise IT projects.” You will also receive an invite to a special 451 Group webcast at which the results will be discussed.

The survey includes about twenty questions. The 451 Group is not asking for details of specific projects, so no sensitive data will be revealed. They are asking about the benefits and risks of open source in general, and how you evaluated the cost of open source in any relevant projects. All responses are of course confidential. The survey will be available for the next two weeks, but please complete it at your earliest convenience.
