Survey results
This is the entry page for the results of the survey posted in April 2004 in
the debian-devel
and debian-user
lists.
These pages provide some views on the results, which I consider quite
successful in giving various insights on our community.
Due to the massive amount of replies that I received and the qualitative
nature of the survey, it took me a long time to process the results. For the
same reasons, and because I have limited knowledge of qualitative metodologies,
I have problems providing too much interpretation of the data.
A personal, big thank you to all the people who replied to the survey and all
the people who gave me suggestions along the way. I'm very happy to see this
data coming together, and I've learnt a lot. I'm also sure that people
spending some time wandering around the results will learn something as
well.
