<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">Dear members of the</span><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size:11.0pt"> Australian</span><span style="font-size:11.0pt"> OSM community,<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">We are a group of researchers from the Human-Centred Computing Group of Aalborg University, Denmark. The OpenStreetMap project provides an example of a highly collaborative and distributed community working
towards a common goal. As such, this makes the OSM project a highly suitable place to study to better understand the needs of online collaboration.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt"> <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">In our current study, we are interested in the collaboration between human contributors and bots/automated edits, and what can be done to further improve this interaction. We realise this is a highly contentious
topic within the OSM community, and we would therefore love to hear from a broad representation of OSM contributors.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt"> <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">We are running a short survey - which should take roughly five to ten minutes of your time. We'd greatly appreciate any input you can provide. No personal information will be collected, and we will share our
insights with the OSM community. If you wish to enter the raffle for a $25 Amazon voucher, you can leave your email address at the end of the survey.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
