Will the results be published regardless of outcome? #71

Closed techzilla closed 7 years ago

techzilla commented 7 years ago

This is a major concern for me, I'd hope that the results are publicly published regardless of if they appear as the researches expected.

Yes! This is an open data project and we'll be publishing the data under an open source license for the open source community and researchers to use. We may hold back some data if there are privacy concerns, but otherwise we plan to release the full data set with accompanying docs on sampling methodology etc.

@franniez can i ask when do you plan to publish the data ? and if you will notify survey participants ?

I just wantto make sure i won't miss it !

franniez commented 7 years ago

@piercus Since the survey is totally anonymous, we don't have a way of notifying participants, but you can sign up for updates at opensourcesurvey.org. I think we'll be able to release the data in May, but since we're still in data collection it's hard to predict.
