The questions were developed based on Board interactions with
community members across the globe, as imagico has said is his
preference,[2] by contacting community members and listening to
them. An example of such interaction was documented in my
diary.[3]<br>

<div dir="ltr">Mappers have an email address associated with
their mapper account. It should be possible to randomly
select 1% of users who submit a changeset each month during
the time of the survey, by sending a link to their account.
For iD users the link could be shown directly on the
website, if desired - this is already being done for
everyone, but it isn't randomized so self-selection bias is
the big problem.</div>

<div>Database users download data at some point. You could
automatically send a link to the survey to 1% of
people who download a planet file or extract via <a
href="http://openstreetmap.org" moz-do-not-send="true">openstreetmap.org</a>
- though getting a more representative sample would
require help from database mirrors such as geofabrik and <a
href="http://openstreetmap.fr" moz-do-not-send="true">openstreetmap.fr</a>,
or sources such as overpass-turbo.</div>

<div style="color:rgb(0,0,0)">You could adjust the
percentage who get sent links in each country to help
get demographic balance. For example, if 50% of active
mappers with changesets in Japan respond to the survey
but only 10% of in Russia, you could send out more links
until the total number is representative of the active
mapper community in each area. And if a mapper doesn't
respond to the first message, you could send out a few
reminders to those who were randomly selected before.</div>
</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>More important would be making sure that the survey
questions are actually addressing the true concerns of the
community in different places, and that the survey is
available in the language of most users in each area where
you hope to get useful responses. I appreciate that the
OSMF has worked on the second issue by trying to get a
good amount of translations done. But I don't think the
questions were developed with global community input. </div>

<p><font face="Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif">That would of
course be a wonderful option. Unfortunately, the
Foundation does not presently have the ability to
generate a randomized statistical sample of the larger
community (which includes mappers, data users, software
developers, systems/hardware admins, communicators, and
event organizers). If you have a specific proposal for
how to accomplish this, one that is practical and would
not break the bank, please PM me and we'll discuss. <br>
