Hi everyone, Just forwarding this message.. interested people, you know what to do Erinn ----- Forwarded message ----- Hello, I am a professor of organizational behavior in a business school in France and currently researching issues related to women in the open source communities. My approach to understanding this issue is ethnographic, which means I want to understand how women themselves see their role in these communities. I would like to know what motivates women to participate in these communities, the satisfactions they draw from their participation, the challenges they encounter and their ways of coping with these challenges. I'm also curious to know how women interpret the scarcity of their numbers in these communities. To accomplish the study I will need to interview the women who have participated in some capacity (writing code, or documentation, etc.) in free/open source communities. Please contact me via email so that I can schedule an interview with you over the phone; the interview will last between 30 minutes and 1 hour. Most importantly, I will protect the anonymity of the results and will not make public any name without the person's explicit permission. If enough interest is raised, I would be happy to post the aggregate results on your site. Looking forward to learning from you, Anca Anca Metiu Assistant Professor of Organizational Behavior INSEAD Boulevard de Constance Fontainebleau Cedex 77305 France Tel. 011.33.(0) 1.60.72.41.77 anca.metiu@insead.edu ----- End forwarded message ----- -- off the chain like a rebellious guanine nucleotide
