Dear Mr. Blecher,

my name is Jana Michalkova and I am a PhD student in the Department of 
Geography and Applied Geoinformatics at the University of Prešov in 
Slovakia. I am working now on my dissertation which deals with Open 
Source philosophy and institutional concept of quadruple helix (in terms 
of interaction of four actors - academia, private sector, public sector 
and civil society).

I am a big fan of Open Source and I have also some experiences with 
working in Open Source community as one of the QGIS translators. An 
inspiration for the design of my research has given me a participation 
in the International QGIS Conference in Denmark in 2015 which for the 
first time ever has brought together developers and users of QGIS. Here 
I was able to see important role of this software as a tool for 
connecting such heterogeneous actors (of quadruple helix).

For this reason I have decided to explore a space of openness and 
dynamic relationships just among different members of QGIS user groups 
worldwide. That is because, in my opinion, they present examples of good 
practice that might be able to further define and set conditions for my 
proposed conceptual framework of the quadruple helix based on Open Source.

In this context, I have allowed to write you as a contact person of your 
QGIS user group and at the same time I´d like kindly to ask you to take 
part at this survey regarding the functioning of QGIS user groups. 
Experiences, knowledge and practice with Open Source community from your 
(your institution) point of view could be a significant and valuable 
asset for my study.

The survey is available via the following link:
https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSdvHCjotjEzdAqv2_UclexBs7iCWtopoByQweSaaVS06fHkHg/viewform 
<https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSdvHCjotjEzdAqv2_UclexBs7iCWtopoByQweSaaVS06fHkHg/viewform>

It should take no more than 15 minutes to fill out it and all data will 
be used solely for the purposes of thesis processing.

I would be very grateful if you could send the survey link to another 
members of your user group (through mailing lists, social media, ...), 
of course if it is no problem for you. It could be very interesting to 
get opinions of different actors from your group.

Thank you very much in advance for your time and willingness to 
participate in this research. Do not hesitate to contact me if you have 
any further questions.

Have a nice day!

Best regards,
Jana
