[Ldsoss] LDS Open Source Survey

[Steven H. McCown]

Interesting survey.  

It would be also interesting to host a similar survey targeted towards other
types of LDS professionals such as marketers, strategists, HCI designers,
etc.  

As Computer Scientists/Engineers, we often 'solve problems' without directly
meeting or addressing 'user needs'.  Many times, we would rather use a
scripting or command line language than a GUI with help buttons and
tutorials.  We solve the problem, but neglect user preferences.  We think
that users *should* use something like Linux, when they prefer not to switch
from something familiar like Windows.  We see where they ought to be rather
than realizing that they simply don't want to change.

Subject: [Ldsoss] LDS Open Source Survey

As I've previously stated, I've been hired by the Church to define an 
open source strategy for the Church.  I've prepared a brief survey that 
I am asking people to fill out that will help me best understand and 
develop this open source strategy.  Please take a few minutes to fill 
out this survey.  Also, pass this survey along to others you feel would 
like to offer their input.  All answers are anonymous and you can go 
back into the survey later and modify your answers.  If you can think of 
other questions or comments to this survey you feel are important, 
please don't hesitate to send me an email.

Thanks for your help!
