[Uriel S. <uri...@gm...>]

Dear Developer of Portfolio Allocation/Simulation
<https://sourceforge.net/p/akutan/>,



This email is sent to you with a request to support an academic research
study on Open Source Software Development. The online survey
<http://sgiz.mobi/s3/049a0a1697a1> is part of larger research project
conducted at Tel Aviv University and supported by the Israel Science
Foundation.



*Since your project is a key element in our research, we have made a great
effort to locate you and send you this questionnaire.*



We seek to study how knowledge is generated and diffused within, across,
and beyond Open Source Software development projects. This study is novel
in that it seeks to uncover relationships between the public and private
motives of individuals and firms to participate in open source software
development projects.



This research study can only be successful if we manage to get all
contributors to your project to participate. We do understand that this is
not an simple quest, but we nevertheless have to make a serious attempt.



If you have any questions or concerns about this study or suggestions on
how this survey <http://sgiz.mobi/s3/049a0a1697a1> can be improved, please
contact Professor Uriel Stettner
<uri...@ta...?subject=Open%20Source%20Software%20Survey>

To launch the online survey <http://sgiz.mobi/s3/049a0a1697a1>, please go
to http://sgiz.mobi/s3/049a0a1697a1

At the end of the survey you will be invited to enter our sweepstake to win
one of 10 $100 Amazon gift certificates.



Thank you for supporti*n*g this research effort! We sincerely appreciate it!



Best wishes,

Uriel Stettner
