>> Hello everyone from the worldwide Linux community,

>>
>> My name is Yordan Dimitrov Minev and I am an undergraduate student

>> closed-source software.
>>
>>
>> Aiming to understand how the Linux users feel about the open source

>> other Linux user groups you colaborate with. My aim is to get as many
>> respondents as possible. Furthermore, I would be delighted to have
>> respondents with different levels of computer experience.
>>
>>
>> In the coming weeks, after analysing the results from the survey, I will
>> write a paper and I will make a short presentation on the topic at St.
>> Lawrence University. I would like to stress that the purpose of this
