Research survey: Impact of Microsoft Acquisition of GitHub

[Member natnaree]

Dear contributors,

I am Natnaree Asavaseri and currently undertaking a research internship at Nara Institute of Science and Technology, Japan. As a part of my research, I am analyzing the impact of Microsoft’s acquisition of GitHub.

I would like to conduct a survey to understand how developers perceive the Microsoft’s acquisition of GitHub, especially from contributors to Linux distributions and BSD families. So please consider voicing your opinion by allowing us up to 5 minutes to complete our short survey.

We would like to remind you that participation in this survey is completely voluntary and your identity is hidden for anonymity. Thank you in advance for your assistance.

Sorry I would fill out your survey if it wasn’t hosted by Google. Your research could go into the wrong hands using dis-services (as Richard Stallman calls them) such as that. I’ll fill out my answers here inside the thread.

Here goess:
Q: Which of the roles best describe your main activities within the Linux (distributions or kernel) or BSD? *
A: Casual contributor, other: open source software totalitarian.

Q: Are you a fan of GitHub? *
A: Yes

Q: GitHub appeals to you as it grants access to over 27 million users in this community. If no opinion, select 0. *
A: 5

Q: GitHub has a set of useful functions (e.g., GitHub Page, Project Management) that every developer will benefit. If no opinion, select 0. *
A: 5

Q: GitHub does not implement my preferred functions or is missing other functions that I need as a developer. If no opinion, select 0.
A: 1

Q: The GitHub platform is superior compared to similar platforms. If no opinion, select 0. *
A: 0

And that’s the only questions I can answer without actually filling out the form xD yes, fuck Google that hard!
