HI!
Many of us encounter burnout and/or exhaustion in open communities. This is
not something that people share often on these lists, but it is a growing
issue across open organizations.

There is a survey asking for input from Open Source Initiative:

The survey uses the *FLO* (Free/Libre/Open) acronym instead of *FLOSS*
because the scope of the research includes projects that aren't primarily
about software. In most ways, you can think of *FLO* and *FLOSS* as being
equivalent.

Survey results may be used to:

   - to help develop a presentation on recognizing, avoiding and recovering
   from burnout.²
   - to help develop anti-burnout self-help resources.³
   - inform more rigorous research on burnout in FLO project participants.

Just the messenger. No affiliation. I'll share the results.

Take care,

Heather
