                participation      architectures in Evergreen<br>
                ><br>
                > Hi all,<br>
                ><br>
                > Last year, Michelle Purcell was a student who did a
                study on design<br>
                > practices in Evergreen (see:<br>
                > <a href="http://list.evergreen-ils.org/pipermail/eg-oversight-board/2014-October/000900.html" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">http://list.evergreen-ils.org/pipermail/eg-oversight-board/2014-October/000900.html</a>).<br>
                > They have come back again to ask for further
                research to be conducted.<br>
                ><br>
                > The following two paragraphs are excerpts from an
                email sent to Ben<br>
                > Hyman and forwarded on to me in my role as
                Evergreen Oversight Board<br>
                > Chair:<br>
                ><br>
                > > I wanted to give you a quick status of where I
                am in my research and ask<br>
                > > for your help with a matter closely related to
                it.  First, I've conducted<br>
                > > seven interviews with Evergreen community
                members and analyzed many, many<br>
                > > launchpad wishlist bugs.  In May I had to put
                my interviewing on hold as I<br>
                > > prepared some interim results and worked on
                finishing my proposal which I<br>
                > > am scheduled to defend in August.  Once
                defended I will resume data<br>
                > > collection with your community.  I must say
                everyone has been most helpful<br>
                > > and its been a pleasure talking with them.<br>
                > ><br>
                > > On another note, my advisor and I are
                submitting a grant proposal to the<br>
                > > National Science Foundation (NSF) based on my
                research.  While I<br>
                > > ultimately plan to finish my PhD regardless of
                gaining funding from the<br>
                > > NSF it would be wonderful to do so as it will
                help me with funding to<br>
                > > complete my studies and raise the visibility
                of my research.  Earlier this<br>
                > > year you provided me with a letter of support
                to give to my institutional<br>
                > > review board.  Again, thank you.  I need to
                ask again for such a letter as<br>
                > > my advisor will be the principle investigator
                for the grant (I cannot be<br>
                > > since I do not have my PhD) and the grant
                application requires the letter<br>
                > > be in her name.  Would you be willing to
                provide such a letter?  If so,<br>
                > > below is a sample form of words you can use. 
                Please feel free to edit.<br>
                > > In it it refers to the research proposal which
                I've attached.   Please<br>
                > > note that the grant application is due by
                8/3/15.  If you could provide<br>
                > > the letter by 7/30/15 that would be most
                helpful.<br>
                ><br>
                > This next section is an adapted version of the
                requested letter of<br>
                > support for the research.  The major change I made
                was a line where it<br>
                > read "You may visit our HQ, if arranged in advance,
                to meet with core<br>
                > members of the project." where I altered it to
                allow for the<br>
                > possibility of multiple site visitations to various
                community member<br>
                > groups, since there is no one headquarter site for
                the community.<br>

                ><br>
                > Dear Dr. Gasson,<br>
                ><br>
                > I have reviewed your research proposal,
                “Participation Architectures<br>
                > For Crowdsourced Innovation Communities.” Your
                research ideas sound<br>
                > very interesting and could be helpful to our
                community and others, and<br>
                > we would like to pursue this work. To this end, we
                would like to be a<br>
                > subject site in your research with the
                understanding that either party<br>
                > can terminate the relations without cause at any
                time during the<br>
                > study.<br>
                ><br>
                > I understand that you will conduct virtual
                interviews with community<br>
                > members and ethnographic observations of the
                community’s collaboration<br>
                > processes and information technology use. You may
                choose to visit with<br>
                > various community HQ sites, if arranged in advance,
                to meet with core<br>
                > members of the project. Other data analyzed will
                consist of publicly<br>
                > available data collected from the Internet, e.g.,
                mailing lists, web<br>
                > pages, issue tracker data, and Internet relay chat
                logs.<br>
                ><br>
                > We look forward to seeing your findings and
                recommendations, as these emerge!<br>

                > So, it's my fault that I wasn't able to act on this
                much quicker, and<br>
                > unfortunately this means we have a very short
                notice on this request<br>
                > and deadline of tomorrow, 7/30/15.  As such, I'd
                like to request that<br>
                > if anyone has any followup questions/discussion
                prior to voting, to<br>
                > please make them known as soon as possible. 
                Otherwise, I would<br>
                > appreciate getting a quick +1/0/-1 from all the
                board members so that<br>
                > we may be able to take immediate action on this.<br>
