Why do people join communities and volunteer their time? How do they understand their involvement? What's at the heart of their motivations? This workshop will bring you into the world of researching people's choices and motivations, introducing you to some tools and techniques you can apply to a host of research questions. You will also be invited to help with a practical study throughout MozFest, putting to use your new skills while helping the Mozilla team understand potential new contributors to Firefox OS.
