Subject: Questions about GNU Cobol

Hello,
We are five students in the École Nationale Supérieure de Bretagne near
Brest in France who are doing an "economics" project on free software.
Our searches through the Internet led us to your project.
We would like to have more information in order to try to explain why
such projects exist and what their programmers can get out of them.
Therefore, could you forward this following questionnaire to the
project’s  creators and administrators who may give us more details.
We will try to be precise and quick and we would really appreciate it if
you could read this e-mail and answer our questions.


1/ How old are you ?

2/ What is your current job ?

3/ What was your job when you started the project ?

4/ What are your relationships with free software ?
 [ ] You use free software. Which one ? ...............................
 [ ] You work in a firm which uses, creates, circulates free software.
Which one ? .........
 [ ] Others........................

5/ Why did you decide to take part in the project ?
 [ ] Fun.
 [ ] Money.
 [ ] To have more programming experience.
 [ ] Fame.
 [ ] Others .................................


6/ Does your work have a link with the project ? If yes, which ?

7/ What is exactly your role in the project ?

8/ Have you ever contributed to another project using free software ?
What is its name ? Could you describe it briefly ?





9/ In your opinion what have you got out of this project ?
 [ ] Programming experience.
 [ ] Marketing experience.
 [ ] Money.
 [ ] Knowledge.

.............................................................

10/ Do you think you will go on working on this project or on another
one (which one ?) ?

11/ Do you serve as a go-between with other firms or associations
related to free software ? Which one ?


Now, we would like to know more about the project itself.

12/ How did the project start ? What were the motivations of the
creators ? If you are not the creator, why did you decide to lead this
project now ?







13/ How many different people have contributed to the project ?

14/ What are their jobs ? In which proportion are they ?
 [ ] Students ...............%
 [ ] Professional programmers ...........%
 [ ] Marketing ............%
            [ ] Others ...........................................
                            ...........................................
                            ..........................................

15/ Finally, how has the project evolved since its start ? Did you have
to face many difficulties ? Has any firm or association been created
thanks to this project ?


16/ Do you see something to add to your answers ?




 We thank you for taking the time to answer these questions which has
helped us to make our research clearer and more precise.

Best regards.
