Thanks a lot for taking the time to conduct these surveys!
The results are more than enlightening to me. The surveys definitely are
useful and insightful.
They sharply illustrate that open source developers are far more
pragmatic than certain people in the audience would like us to be.
Given that some of those people have been very disruptive, it for me
absolutely was needed to confront them with numerical reality.
I hope that the foundation board will learn from your surveys and will
conduct them for most of the future foundation-board decisions too.
I also hope the foundation board will respect the results of these
surveys. The results are invaluable.
I disrespect people who claim that this last survey has intentional
bias. For me they are being intellectually dishonest.

It would be nice to know the results of the people who claim that they
are working on or contributing to a GNOME project.
Cheers,
