Description
The University of California (UC) OSPO Network is working to develop infrastructure for open source education, discovery, and sustainability at UC. To develop our strategic priorities and assess the state of UC open source, we conducted a survey in April 2025 of 294 UC-affiliated open source contributors. This repository contains the survey data, which shed light on how and why academics contribute to open source and the barriers they face.
This repository contains the quantitative (.tsv format) and qualitative responses (.docx format) from the survey, as well as some intermediate data files generated during the analysis. Some minimal pre-processing has already been applied to the data, including removal of personally identifiable information. These data are suitable for replication and/or reuse. See the README file for more information.
The compressed data file was produced with tar and gzip on an Ubuntu Linux operating system, version 24.04.3 LTS.
