If you are one of the many people who already participated in the current OctoPrint Patron Survey  (thank you!) you can stop reading now.

Still here? Then please consider taking the short amount of time required to fill out the survey. What for? Well, I want to get an idea of how you are using OctoPrint (assuming you do :P), what you are missing the most, what annoys you the most and so on, so that I can have a better idea about how to best continue my development on OctoPrint so that it suits you the most. The survey will run throughout December and will be evaluated (and an update about it provided) in January.

For more details, see this earlier post about it. Thanks!

I wrote this on the survey but I want to reiterate and make it public. OctoPrint sets an example of a successful open-source project where others lack. I feel that open-source has been extremely threatened in recent times because of the whole start-up, snazzy thing that's going on where good design, usability and professionalism have really shined through on internet services, apps etc. The only way that open-source can compete is by averting the classic problems of poor design, poor documentation, incompleteness and lack of vision. OctoPrint has been a shining example of how open-source is still feasible and in some cases superior to proprietary software. THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU. I've been here since the beginning and have been continually impressed.

It looks like you need a Google Account to take this survey? Windows Phone user here, so unfortunately I am unable to take part. If I could take part you would receive all positive feedback from me! I like the way OctoPrint is going, and I can fully support Dane's words on Open Source Projects.

Dependency on the Google account was sadly the only way the platform offered me to limit the survey to one response per participant, which I wanted to do for reasons of fairness. If you feel comfortable to hand in your response outside the cover of anonymity, you can also send me your response by mail to gina -at- foosel -dot- net. I think you should still be able to see the questions even without an account, but just in case they are also here: <a href="https://docs.google.com/document/d/1y2LPevUw2nj7OBjmVr9BKm0OJEABDUPNIdcGv-oLwbo/edit?usp=drivesdk" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://docs.google.com/document/d/1y2LPevUw2nj7OBjmVr9BKm0OJEABDUPNIdcGv-oLwbo/edit?usp=drivesdk</a>
