Hi Folks,

It would also be awesome if the results of the survey could be shared on the TOS list. In fact, there are folks who are doing research in student participation in FOSS and having highlights of those posted on the list would be awesome!  There is huge benefit in hearing about successful efforts as well as barriers to participation when involving students in FOSS.

Dear colleagues,

I have a student working on a study aiming to understand how mentors recommend tasks for newcomers to OSS projects.
We conducted a set of interviews and uncovered some challenges and strategies that can be used. To follow up, we are collecting some impressions via a survey.

Given that we have a great set of instructors involved with OSS in this list, I believe that some of you would answer our survey.
Therefore, we kindly ask you, if you have ever mentored someone in OSS context, please answer our survey to help us:

Isn't this something that most OSS organizations that have participated in Google Summer of Code or
Google Code-In will have experience with? Are you trying to focus on how academics introduce students
to OSS projects or how the projects themselves on-board newcomers?

Different perspectives.
