The goal of the recruitment survey is to generate a pool of application developers who are interested in participating in user research activities on behalf of the community. The survey contains eight questions that can be used to screen potential participants
for upcoming studies i.e. “We need to recruit eight participants with at least three years experience developing applications on a public cloud for a usability study.” App developers are difficult to recruit because they are less likely to attend community
events or leverage the OpenStack IRC channels which is why we’re making a specific effort to recruit them.</div>

</div>
<div>
<div><font face="Calibri,sans-serif">The survey includes questions for the following areas:</font></div>
<div><font face="Calibri,sans-serif"><br>
</font></div>
<div><font face="Calibri,sans-serif">* Company Type (Academic, ISV, etc)</font></div>
<div><font face="Calibri,sans-serif">* Company size</font></div>
<div><font face="Calibri,sans-serif">* Location of respondent</font></div>
<div><font face="Calibri,sans-serif">* Years developing apps</font></div>
<div><font face="Calibri,sans-serif">* App development languages</font></div>
<div><font face="Calibri,sans-serif">* Public clouds used by respondent (if at all)</font></div>
<div><font face="Calibri,sans-serif">* Private clouds used by respondent (if at all)</font></div>
<div><font face="Calibri,sans-serif">* Whether they participate in the community</font></div>
<div><font face="Calibri,sans-serif"><br>
</font></div>
<div><font face="Calibri,sans-serif">We are trying to keep the survey as short as possible because we’re trying to recruit as many application developers as possible. As Flanders noted, it’s challenging to have folks complete a survey at a conference or summit
if they need to stand there for more than a couple of minutes.</font></div>
<div><font face="Calibri,sans-serif"><br>
</font></div>
<div><font face="Calibri,sans-serif">The data collected from the survey will be managed by the foundation and email addresses for the respondents will not be shared with the community.</font></div>

Let me know your thoughts. In the meantime, we can always swap-out "OpenStack Foundation and Technical Committee” with “OpenStack UX project”.</div>
