Data and code from: A system-wide snapshot: A multi-campus survey of open source contributors at the University of California

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 deposit contains materials from the study, as a companion to our PLOS One paper "A system-wide snapshot: A multi-campus survey of open source contributors at the University of California".

Data:
The Dryad deposit 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. The compressed data file was produced with tar and gzip on an Ubuntu Linux operating system, version 24.04.3 LTS. See the README file for more information.

Code:
The Zenodo deposit, which is linked to the Dryad deposit, contains the code from this study. It is a static snapshot of this repository at the time of publication: https://github.com/UC-OSPO-Network/ospo-survey-analysis. See the README within the zip file for more information. The zip file was downloaded from GitHub using GitHub's built-in 'download .zip' feature.
