Survey on Contributing to Open Source

Hi there!

We would like 5-10 minutes of your time for answering some simple and easy questions regarding your experience towards contributing to an Open Source project.

We are looking to gather data from everyone who have tried (failed or succeeded) contributing to an open source project in the past year.

Any personal data you submit as part of this survey will be handled in accordance with our Mozilla Privacy Policy.

Thank you
