Hello, Researchers at Oregon State University are striving to conduct research to learn more about the free/open source software community landscape as it relates to older adults. We’re looking for older adults who are older than 50 and are currently involved with a free/open source software project. You will be excluded from the study if you are younger than 50, have not contributed to a free/open source software project, or are not fluent in English. If you’re interested, we will either do an in-person interview (if you are local to the Corvallis or Portland area), or an interview over the phone (if you are not local). The interview is expected to last no longer than an hour. You will not be compensated for participating in this study.
The study title is Involving Older Adults in the Design and Development of Free/Open Source Software – Part 2. The principal investigator is Dr. Carlos Jensen. If you would like to participate in the study, please read through the eligibility document and consent document [1]. Please email us at david...@onid.orst.edu to set up a time to determine your eligibility and to set up a time/location to do an interview. Thank you, Jennifer Davidson Carlos Jensen david...@onid.orst.edu cjen...@eecs.oregonstate.edu [1] people.oregonstate.edu/~davidsje/researchForms/groupB/ -- Jennifer Davidson Human-Computer Interaction PhD Student IGERT in Aging Sciences Program Center for Healthy Aging Research Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science Oregon State University
