Hello guys,

I've followed this community for a while now and this is my contribution : a survey about LAD.

Why ?
I've made this survey to get a snapshot of what LAD community is, and to help understand how it works. This community has always worked in an informal way with ups and downs, and I thought it would be really useful to look at it with objectivity.

Who ?
It is open to any contributors of any Linux Audio Sofwares.

Who/What's for ?
This study aims to stay within LAD community and to provide very practical information. It does not intend to be part of a essay or any academic work. Actually its only purpose will be to provide a solid ground for further discussion about LAD's future. I've already started to gather qualitative data (as some of you know) an, while you answer this, I'll collect some more data about the projects themselves. Once all put together, we should get a very precise overview of what this community actually is.

How ?
The survey itself takes around 30minuts to complete and they will be anonymized before any publication (if you wonder why I ask for your name : it's to help me to build a projects-interactions graph as well as few other things). 

When ?
Hopefully, I hope to get most answers within 2 or 3 months. After that it'll take a couple of weeks to analyze the data and write something about them. I'll keep you informed.

I've made my best to think about the most relevant questions and possible answers, but if you thinks something is missing, wrong or whatever please contact me


Thanks in advance,
