| 18 | +Since its founding, OpenTelemetry has had [thousands of contributors][3] from |
| 19 | +around the world, including end users, vendors, and students. [Last summer][1] |
| 20 | +some members of the OpenTelemetry project came together to create the |
| 21 | +[Contributor Experience SIG][2], which is focused on ensuring that contributors |
| 22 | +of all types have a great experience with the OpenTelemetry project. |
| 23 | + |
| 24 | +Since then, the SIG has worked on several initiatives, including an [Outreachy |
| 25 | +project][5] to develop [up-to-date contributor docs][4]. |
| 26 | + |
| 27 | +To inform future initiatives and help us understand the current state of the |
| 28 | +contributor experience, today we are launching our first official Contributor |
| 29 | +Experience Survey. If you have ever contributed to the project, be it with code, |
| 30 | +documentation, or in a different way, we want to hear from you! The survey |
| 31 | +should take between five and ten minutes, and is **open from February 17th to |
| 32 | +March 17th**. |
| 33 | + |
| 34 | +The survey is anonymous; only [maintainers of the Contributor Experience SIG][7] |
| 35 | +will see your full individual answers. We will share an aggregate analysis of |
| 36 | +the survey results once completed, with a special focus to avoid data |
| 37 | +re-identification. |
| 38 | + |
| 39 | +We invite you to **access the [survey][6]** and share your experience. If you |
| 40 | +have any questions or concerns, reach out to Pablo Baeyens on the [CNCF |
| 41 | +Slack][8] or using the email listed on the first page of the survey. |
