Thank you for participating in this questionnaire, rOpensci unconf participant! Its aim is to gauge your personal experiences of conflict working within this open source community. It is based on the premise that conflict is a normal part of our everyday life and can range from a difference of opinion to total communication breakdown.

The contents of this questionnaire are necessarily completely CONFIDENTIAL and I appreciate your total candidness. I will be using the responses as part of a final paper in my dispute systems design course!

Thank you,
