Linux Foundation Launches 2024 World of Open Source Survey

The Linux Foundation has launched the 2024 World of Open Source: Global Spotlight Survey, designed to delve into the nuances of open-source technology across different regions and industries. This comprehensive survey aims to provide insights into the open-source ecosystem, emphasizing how it is shaping technological and developmental trends worldwide. Participants are encouraged to allot approximately 15 minutes to complete the survey, with the option to select their preferred language.

Upon conclusion of the survey, a summary of the findings will be published on the Linux Foundation website. Additionally, the full dataset will be made available on Data.World under the Linux Foundation's section, ensuring transparency and access for further research and analysis.

As an incentive for participation, respondents will receive a 30% discount code valid for any e-learning course or certification exam offered by the Linux Foundation, excluding THRIVE-ONE subscriptions and FinOps courses. This promotional offer is applicable until August 31, 2024, and is intended for individual purchases only. A full catalogue of courses can be found here.

In a further gesture of community support, the Linux Foundation Research will donate to the Linux Foundation’s Travel Fund for each completed survey. This fund assists open-source developers and community members in attending events that might otherwise be financially out of reach, thus fostering greater community involvement and contribution.

The survey adheres to strict privacy protocols outlined in the Linux Foundation’s Privacy Policy, ensuring no personal identifying information is linked to the survey responses. This initiative helps gather essential data and supports the open-source community by enabling wider participation and learning opportunities. To learn more, click here.
