Hello Members

We are currently conducting a study that aims to optimise User Experience (UX) in the development processes of Free and Open-source software (FOSS), including VirtualGL. This study believes that delivering projects of this nature with desirable UX is an organisational effort. Therefore, precisely comprehending what make FOSS projects with desirable UX, integrating them in the development processes, and optimally assessing these processes are mandatory.

UX is still ambiguous and what create several FOSS projects with desirable UX are still unknown. Moreover, although these projects offer immense contributions, they are not widely adopted, and UX is recurring as the significant cause of ongoing adoptions misfortune. The FOSS community has not done enough to address these challenges. Therefore, to dig deeper into this problem, we have developed a questionnaire with several UX influencing factors seeking FOSS stakeholders' perceptions.

The developed questionnaire provides evidence rather than opinions when capturing insights into how stakeholders in the FOSS community perceive UX influencing factors. Furthermore, it is the derivative of several psychometric scales, such as AttrakDiff, VisAWI, SUS, UEQ, meCUE, and reviewed literature.
We kindly request that the network feel free and offer candid feedback by completing the appraisal in the link shown below.
