<div>Dear Mr. Blecher,<br>
<br>
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). <br>
<br>
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). <br>
<br>
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. </div>
<br>
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.<br>
<br>
The survey is available via the following link:<br>
<a moz-do-not-send="true"
href="https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSdvHCjotjEzdAqv2_UclexBs7iCWtopoByQweSaaVS06fHkHg/viewform"
target="_blank">https://docs.google.com/forms/<wbr>d/e/1FAIpQLSdvHCjotjEzdAqv2_Uc<wbr>lexBs7iCWtopoByQweSaaVS06fHkHg<wbr>/viewform</a><br>
<br>
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.
<br>
<br>
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.<br>
<br>
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.<br>
<br>
Have a nice day!<br>
<br>
Best regards,<br>
Jana<br clear="all">
