[Generationx-general] FASD project: Online survey launched

[<ben...@id...>]

Dear Open Source developer

I am doing a research project on "Fun and Software Development" in which I kindly invite you to participate.
You will find the online survey under http://fasd.ethz.ch/qsf/. The questionnaire consists of 53 questions and you will need about 15 minutes to complete it.

With the FASD project (Fun and Software Development) we want to define the motivational significance of fun when software developers decide to engage in Open Source projects. What is special about our research project is that a similar survey is planned with software developers in commercial firms. This procedure allows the immediate comparison between the involved individuals and the conditions of production of these two development models. Thus we hope to obtain substantial new insights to the phenomenon of Open Source Development.


With many thanks for your participation,
Benno Luthiger


PS:
The results of the survey will be published under http://www.isu.unizh.ch/fuehrung/blprojects/FASD/.
We have set up the mailing list fa...@we... for this study. Please see http://fasd.ethz.ch/qsf/mailinglist_en.html for registration to this mailing list.

[Generationx-general] GenX status

[Nowhere M. <now...@ma...>]

greetings all,

i've been getting a few notes asking about the status of GenX. life has 
been crazy for me lately, but i'm finally finding time to devote to the 
project again. i can't say when a new release will be ready for public 
consumption, but as i get new functionalities working i'm putting them 
on the cvs tree. so if anyone wants to try out the latest and greatest 
and maybe give me some feedback on it, just grab the latest code off of 
sourceforge. i never update the cvs with broken code, so it should 
always be build-able and run-able.
