上个月收到了SF.net的调查信：Sf.net请调查公司为公司下一步的市场方向搜集用户意见。

调查分2个阶段：
PHASE 1: During the first phase, we will be conducting interactive online discussion groups with software developers and project administrators who currently contribute to and/or use open source applications on SourceForge.net. **Please note: the spaces for Phase I have already been filled and this phase is nearing completion. We invite you to join us during the second phase, which is detailed below.***

主要是第二阶段是在线调查：我当时花了20多分钟填写了调查问卷，内容好像是sf.net正在计划做一个在线的面向开源软件解决方案的营销中介平台，然后从中收取中介费用盈利。
PHASE 2: During the second phase, we will be conducting an online survey.

* A link to the online survey will be emailed to all participating technology professionals during the week of November 20th.
* Participating technology professionals will be asked to complete the 15-20 minute survey at some point during that week.
* Participants can log-on and complete the questionnaire at any time of the day or night.

****As a thank you for your time, each participant who completes the questionnaire will receive US $10****

最近几年以来：太多公司/项目从sf.net上成长起来。从sf.net最活跃的项目列表可以看到，很多项目通过捐献就能获得足够的开发支持。上次互联网泡沫后：sf.net成为很多项目的避难所和孵化器，随着最近很多项目的成功，作为sf.net服务本身的提供者：似乎并没有其中得到太多的回馈。这个基于开源软件的在线咨询中介市场也许是一次尝试吧……
