<p><font face="Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif">The anonymized, raw
results of the 2021 OSMF community survey have been posted to
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://wiki.osmfoundation.org/wiki/2021_Survey_Results#Anonymized_raw_data_and_summary_statistics_based_on_raw_data">https://wiki.osmfoundation.org/wiki/2021_Survey_Results#Anonymized_raw_data_and_summary_statistics_based_on_raw_data</a>
in .ods format spreadsheets. There are two spreadsheets, one
containing anonymized raw data, and the other containing summary
statistics calculated from the raw data before anonymization. I
believe I have caught all errors made in the initial trials of
calculating summary statistics (I had to brush up some
long-dormant spreadsheet skills), but will appreciate being
notified if anybody reading this notices anomalies or errors in
the statistics.<br>
</font></p>
<p><font face="Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif">I am continuing to
analyze the raw data, and if there are specific requests for
cross-sectional analysis not already presented in the summary
statistics spreadsheet, please let me know, and I'll try to fit
them into my schedule.</font></p>
<p><font face="Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif">We are working on
normalization of the data against mapping activity by country.
Since 84% of respondents identified themselves as mappers, this
should help us to weight (normalize) the responses by
geography. Initial examination of normalization trials
revealed, however, that the differences between raw results and
normalized results do not appear large. We are therefore
proceeding with release of the raw data.</font></p>
