Gender, Representativeness and Reputation in StackOverflow

Show key headers only | View raw

Do you participate in StackOverflow discussions? 

As a part of a joint on-going research effort of the Brunel University (UK) and Eindhoven University of Technology (The Netherlands)  on the impact of collaboration sites on the developers community, we would like to understand the demographics of StackOverflow participants and their activity. Specifically we are focusing on how genders, minorities and cultural background are represented in the population of users and participants of StackOverflow. 

Therefore, we have prepared a small questionnaire: 
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/viewform?formkey=dEhtUVNQTEJmRTlwMVJSQ1hkeUZTR3c6MQ#gid=0 

In our previous research we have proposed an h-index for open source developers (http://scholar.google.com/scholar?q=%22Developing+an+h-index+for+OSS+developers.%22), and we have a paper under review about how web activity (also Stack Overflow's) could be used by candidates as their resumes. 

Filling this questionnaire should not take more than a couple of minutes. Personal data will not be made available to third parties and no identifiable details about individual participants will be published.
