Title: Invitation to take the 2020 ASF Community Survey
Hi {FIRSTNAME},
The ASF is contacting you directly because we need your participation in the 2020 ASF Community Survey. If you do not wish to participate and do not want to further receive these emails, please opt out in the link provided below.
Your participation is important because it will provide us with scientific information about our community, and shed light on how we can collaborate better and become more inclusive and diverse. Please take 15 minutes to fill out the 2020 ASF Community Survey.
{SURVEYURL}
This is your unique link [1], please don’t share it with anyone. All responses will be aggregated and anonymized - and this data will only be used for this 2020 Community Survey.
One of the reasons why we have chosen to email you privately with a unique URL is to let us track the responses in a statistically sound manner. As to ensure that we are handling this process securely and with the right privacy guarantees - we've enlisted a third party (LimeSurvey) with the required expertise and process hygiene.
You can find information about privacy on the survey’s Confluence page [2] and read more about it in its blogpost [3].
The last survey of this kind was implemented in 2016, which means that our existing data about Apache communities is outdated. The 2020 ASF Community Survey is looking to gather scientific data that allows us to understand our community better, both in its demographic composition, and also in collaboration styles and preferences. We want to find areas where we can continue to do great work, and others where we need to provide more support so that our projects can keep growing healthy and diverse.
The deadline to complete the survey is January 4th, 2020. We will send 2 more reminders before the date.
Kindly,
Griselda Cuevas
V.P. of Diversity and Inclusion

Blog --TITLE: Launch of the 2020 ASF Community Survey
This week, we are excited to launch the 2020 ASF Community Survey, with which we will gather scientific data that allows us to understand our community better, both in its demographic composition, and also in collaboration styles and preferences. We want to find areas where we can continue to do great work and others where we need to provide more support so that our projects can keep growing healthy and diverse. This joint effort was long overdue: our last survey of this kind was implemented in 2016 [1], which means that all the information we currently have about our communities is outdated.
For this new version of the survey, we have hired Bitergia to design it, a company expert in analyzing open source communities and other types of software development teams. They have experience in this type of surveys and research in open source communities. Among other studies, their previous work includes an analysis in gender diversity in technical contributions for OpenStack [2]. The 2020 ASF Community Survey is the first part of a two-stage research. The second part consists of interviews with people who have contributed to the ASF, in order to assess their experience. We’ll share more on this second part of the project soon.
This survey and research are part of the ASF efforts to build a more equitable, inclusive and diverse community. They are run by the Vice President of Diversity and Inclusion, a team formed last May. We’ll share a broader update about this group in January.
If you have an apache.org email address you will receive an email by Thursday, Dec 5 at noon PST, with a link to the survey. Please take 15 minutes to complete it. If you didn’t receive the email or you do not have an apache.org email address, please use this link to complete the survey:
https://communitysurvey.limequery.org/454363
We are looking to hear from everyone in our community: from users and contributors, to committers and PMCs. Everyone’s voice matters.
Find more information about the 2020 ASF Community Survey on its page on Confluence, including the privacy policy governing this initiative. If you are part of our community, either as a user, contributor, or both, your participation is paramount to the success of this project! Please consider filling out the survey, and share this blog on social media, send it to your fellow Apache contributors. As individuals form the Apache community, your opinion matters: we need to hear your voice.
