<div dir="ltr">It
has been a while since I've been in contact with the open source community. Between
finishing my PhD and getting a job, my life has been very busy.
However, I have continued to think about open source
communities while I have been away. For example, like the study I am
currently running.<br>
<div><br>Desktop notifications are a service to help you maintain
awareness of applications and services running in the background. Love
them or hate them, they provide an essential service that we cannot live
without. The first Desktop Notification Study focused on the KDE
community. Results of the study provided interesting insight to what
makes a notification good or bad. <br>
<br>The current study expands the focus to all Free/Libre/Open Source
Software communities. Tell me about the most recent notification you
received and help me understand what makes a notification good or bad
across the board.<br>

to one of the following projects (you choose): KDE, Gnome, Free Software Foundation,
Free Software Foundation Europe, and the Apache Foundation.<br>
<br></div>Spread the word and share with your friends, earning donations to your favorite FLOSS project along the way!<br><br>Cheers,<br><br>~ Celeste Lyn Paul (formerly of the KDE Usability Project and KDE e.V. Board)</div>
