Dear Ansible contributor,

We are doing research on understanding how developers manage a special kind of Technical Debt in **Python.**

We kindly ask 15-20 minutes of your time to fill out our survey. To help you decide whether to fill it in, we clarify two points.

“Why should I answer this survey?”

Your participation is essential for us to correctly understand how developers manage Technical Debt.

“What is in it for me?”

Your valuable contributions to **Ansible** are part of the information we analyzed for this study. Thus, if you help us further by answering this survey, there are two immediate benefits:

- you help to improve the efficiency of maintaining the quality of **Ansible**.
- the results will be used to propose recommendations to manage technical debt and create tool support.  
Here is the [link to the survey](https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSeVD-tmNfaTBclnInVKweNXqpk9HNuQqxd-nQ1wRlrt3QCsIQ/viewform?usp=sf_link).

Thank you for your time and attention.

Kind regards,  
Jie Tan, Daniel Feitosa and Paris Avgeriou

Hi, having answered your survey I'd like to ask if you could  
also post a link to the final paper/results/… of your research  
to this list once it is finished.

I suppose [this][1] is the project you are working on.

Thanks and good luck  
-Andi
