<font face="Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif">Thank you all for
spreading the word on the OSMF 2021 survey. </font><font face="Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif"><font face="Helvetica, Arial,
sans-serif">At the moment, after 5-1/2 days, we have 1496
responses, of which 1116 are "full", meaning they included
demographic data that will allow us to do some cross-sectional
analysis </font> (almost 29% of respondents decline to provide
demographic data). But keep spreading the word. We have 16
languages available: (English, Chinese (Traditional; Taiwan),
French, German, Indonesian, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Persian,
Polish, Portuguese (Brazilian), Russian, Spanish, Turkish,
Ukrainian, Vietnamese). If you know of a group that needs another
language and can link me with someone to translate the
questionnaire, please do so! I have become adept at copying and
pasting languages I don't understand into Lime Survey.</font>

<p><font face="Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif">We needed 1067
respondents to achieve a 3% error term at the 95%
confidence level, but now I'd like for us to push for a 2%
error term. As you all know, the larger the sample, the
more accurate the estimates, and the wider we cast our
net, the less the selection bias. For that we need 4160
respondents. We have three weeks left in the survey so it
is possible if we continue to spread the word. Please
help! The URL is <a href="https://osmf.limequery.org/281662" target="_blank">https://osmf.limequery.org/281662</a>
Please spread the word in whatever other languages you
can, please encourage OSMers to participate, please use
all available communication channels to reach as many
corners of the OSMverse as you can!<br>

<p><font face="Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif">Many thanks again
for your support.</font></p>
