We’re two information systems students at Uppsala university, Sweden, currently working on our bachelor’s thesis. The aim of our paper is to investigate usability in open-source software and conduct a qualitative study on the subject. To do this in a satisfactory manner we hope to examine a couple of open source projects and interview it’s main developers with the intent of gaining knowledge about development within the context of usability in open-source software. The interviews will be done via e-mail and all participants are anonymous. The software itself will be heuristically evaluated and the result will be analyzed together with the answers from the interviews. Our time span is quite limited and our goal is to have completed the interviews within 1-4 weeks.
If you’re a developer within open-source software, don’t hesitate to contact us! Unfortunately, we do not have funds to give any compensation for your time. However, your participation will be greatly appreciated and will aid us in achieving our bachelor’s degree.

Thank you, Robert & David
