Fedora: Still looking for Interview Participants!

If you would like to participate in the interview portion of the Fedora research project I am current conducting, please visit my informational post on it here!

I need at least 10 more willing participants by the end of next week. The most convenient way of participating for all involved so far has been through email. So if you have a little time and wouldn’t mind answering a few questions about your participation in Fedora via email, please let me know!

If you need alternative means of signing the informed consent documents, please note that you can sign it via a tablet as well as via fax (just email me for the fax number), rather than being restricted to having scan your forms in and send them to me.

Fedora – FLOSS Web Based Survey Tools?

Dr. D Hubbard cyber anthropology Fedora 6

After some great suggestions provided by a couple of people on alternative FLOSS tools for conducting interviews online, I thought I would ask the community if there were any preferred web based FLOSS survey tools available?

I’ll be constructing a survey based on the interview results by the middle of February. So, I would like to get started on the construction of it as soon as possible. If you know of any, and especially if you have used any please let me know.

I look forward to your suggestions!
