| 10 | +Since its founding, OpenTelemetry has had [thousands of contributors][3] from all around the world, |
| 11 | +including end users, vendors and students. [Last summer][1] some members of the OpenTelemetry |
| 12 | +project came together to create [Contributor Experience SIG][2]; a SIG focused on improving the |
| 13 | +experience of contributors to the OpenTelemetry Project, to make sure contributors of all types can |
| 14 | +have a great experience. Since then, the SIG has been working on a number of initiatives, including |
| 15 | +an [Outreachy project][5] to [create up to date contributor documentation][4]. |
| 16 | + |
| 17 | +To inform future initiatives and help us understand the current state of the contributor experience, |
| 18 | +we are launching today our first official Contributor Experience Survey. If you have ever |
| 19 | +contributed to the project, be it with code, documentation or in a different way, we want to hear |
| 20 | +from you! The survey should take between five and ten minutes, and is **open from February 17th up |
| 21 | +until March 17th**. |
| 22 | + |
| 23 | +The survey is anonymous; only [maintainers of the Contributor Experience SIG][7] will see your full |
| 24 | +individual answers. We will share an aggregate analysis of the survey results once completed, with a |
| 25 | +special focus to avoid data re-identification. |
| 26 | + |
| 27 | +You can **access the survey [here][6]**. If you have any questions or concerns, please reach out to |
| 28 | +Pablo Baeyens on the CNCF Slack or via the email listed on the first page of the survey. |
