Welcome to 2008!
I hope you have had an enjoyable and relaxing break and are ready to go into 2008 with new gusto!
Throughout January all users of Open Source Testing are invited to complete the 2 Minute Survey, to help influence new features and services on Open Source Testing in the coming year.
2007 was a great year for Open Source Testing. The monthly audience surpassed the 100,000 users milestone for the first time and while the open source user community grew, the developer community really delivered the goods with existing tools maturing and innovating strongly and new tools arriving regularly to fill yet more niches. And as the site began to generate steady advertising revenue I was able to launch of a donations program back into the open source testing community, another long-term milestone for the site.
There is lots more on the horizon for 2008. I have literally bags of ideas for new content and services but need your help to ensure that the right ones get delivered. So to ensure that the site continues to meet your needs please take just 2 minutes of your time to answer 5 quick questions about yourself, your organization and your needs. Please also feel free to use the comments section to expand on any answers if you wish to do so.
Here’s to a healthy and successful 2008!
Many thanks,
Mark
