[OSM-talk] Anonymized raw results of the 2021 OSMF community survey

[Michal Migurski]

Very excited to see this, Allan!

Is there a mapping of multi-country regions to individual country code, e.g. a quick list of Africa-angl countries?

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.

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.
