Basically, my objective is to identify the personal conceptions of good leadership that reside in the minds of the contributors, in terms of leaders' _behaviors_ and _characteristics_. What is a good open-source project leader, from the contributor's point of view? To what extent, those personal believes are shared among developers? Can the contributor's national cultural belonging and level of experience in contributing to open-source projects explain such differences in their idea of what a good leader is? I would really appreciate your participation to the survey! Contribution (completely anonymous) consists in rating a list of statements that may be used to describe the behaviors of an open-source leader. It will take around ten minutes - there aren't any "time-consuming" open ended questions;) Following, the link to the survey: http://freeonlinesurveys.com/rendersurvey.asp?id=49776 If you are interested, I will not miss to email you a link to the final report, when ready ;) (approx, a couple of months from now) Thank you in advance, and don't hesitate to contact me if you have any questions or comments :) Gianluca Bosco g.bosco@GETRIDOFTHISinwind.it Denmark Technical University Department of manufacturing engineering and management
