<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">Hi everyone,<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US"><br>
I was out on holiday and have just caught up on this great discussion. Reading it has been very insightful, so I’d like to thank you all for participating in the conversation.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US"><br>
I understand the concerns people had about the platform used for the initial survey, so I’m glad that thanks to the OSMF we were able to offer an alternative in LimeSurvey.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US"><br>
To add to Courtney’s comments about our affiliations—my TomTom colleagues and I do dedicate TomTom time to this project. We believe it’s important for us to better comprehend how the community uses its channels, so we can communicate about TomTom’s activities
in OSM in the best possible way to achieve the transparency needed by the community and even prescribed in the Organised Editing Guidelines. In the course of learning about OSM for TomTom activities, it has become clear that communication in OSM is a complex
topic, so we think sharing our findings with the community to contribute to a better understanding of communication practices is a good thing to do.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US"><br>
I myself am also looking into this topic from a personal interest, since I have a background in communications, writing and languages.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US"><br>
Finally, coming back to the survey, I just want to say I’m happy to see how many people have already responded. Thank you for that, we’re looking forward to the results.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US"><br>
For those of you would still like to fill out the survey—we are planning to close it after May 12.<br>

Hi everyone,<br>
<br>
We are doing a research project on how OpenStreetMap users interact with each other. Are you willing to help us learn more about communication behaviors in OSM? Take this quick and anonymous survey and tell us if and how you use the OSM community forum, mailing
lists, social media and other channels:<br>
<br>
<a href="https://forms.gle/UeAGs3VahuxBN7Ec7">https://forms.gle/UeAGs3VahuxBN7Ec7</a>
<br>
<br>
We will share the results of this survey, along with other data, with the community. This can help users better understand communication habits in OSM, so they can identify the most effective ways to reach other community members. We will be presenting our
findings at State of the Map US in Richmond, Virginia and in diary entries. So stay tuned for more and thank you for participating in our survey.<br>
<br>
Have a great weekend!<o:p></o:p></span></p>
