AMSAT community members,

This is a reminder email for the Reuse, Interoperability, Portability, Code Complexity Survey. So far about 25 participants have completed the survey, and if you have I am very grateful. Another 20 have stated the survey, and maybe those participants are done with how they want to fill out the survey. I would ideally want about 100-200 respondents, but I have had about 40-80 participants on the previous surveys. If I could get another 20+ participants that would be great. I will keep the survey open until Monday, then we start the last survey... I know you will all miss these emails.

This is the longest survey, please note that you can take it in stages as long as you resume or visit the link in the same browser on the same computer and you have cookies turned on as it will remember your session: no other identifying information is collected or stored.

You can you use the link below to access the Reuse, Interoperability, Portability, Code Complexity Survey.

What follows is more information about the survey and is largely the same as what you have seen before.

There is a chance to win some gift cards. Please see below for more information. The survey should take about 15 minutes. Thanks.

Please note that the link is anonymous, so you are getting this reminder even if you have already taken the survey. I would like to thank everyone that has participated thus far, I really appreciate it, I know it is an inconvenience and that everyone is really busy.

The second part of the survey has background questions that will give context to your answers. Try to fill the background out the same way if you take more than one of the surveys.

Answer as many of the questions as you want and as much of each question as you want, partial surveys may still be very helpful. At the end of this survey, you will be redirected to a webpage that asks for an email address. You must enter a valid email address to be considered for survey drawings or the overall survey set drawing.

We are currently on the 5th survey, Reuse, Interoperability, Portability, Code Complexity Survey.

You have a chance at receiving a gift card for participating in this survey as well as a chance at receiving a gift card for your overall participation in the entire survey set. There will be 2 winners of $25 gift cards for each survey and 2 winners of $200 gift cards for the survey set.

The surveys are as follows and will be distributed in the following order: (participate as your mood strikes you)

SISDPA : Core Concepts

SISDPA : Development Preferences

SISDPA : Open Systems Architecture and Modularity

SISDPA : Security

SISDPA : Reuse, Interoperability, Portability, Code Complexity <== We are here ====
