<p class="MsoNormal"> My name is
jaison kuriakose and I am a PhD student in information systems in memorial
university, Canada. As part of my PhD dissertation, I am conducting a survey
study on requirements engineering practices in open source software development
under the supervision of Dr. Jeffrey Parsons. Below are the details about the
study. If possible, please forward the survey link to other members and if
possible, please post it in open discussion forums. Thank you.</p>

<p class="MsoNormal">Dear sir/madam,</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">You are invited to participate in a survey titled
"requirements engineering practices used in the development of open source
software projects". This survey is part of a PhD dissertation study on
requirements gathering in open source software development.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">This survey contains questions about which requirements
engineering practices are being used during open source software development,
how useful requirements engineering practices are for open source software
development and the problems and issues that may arise while carrying out requirements
gathering activities during open source software development. The survey would
take around twenty minutes to complete. The questions are not mandatory. If you
are interested in participating in this survey, please fill out the survey by
