<div>Hello,</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Myself (Dr. Roscoe Bartlett, Sandia National Laboratory), Dr. Jeffrey Carver, University of Alabama, and Dr. Lorin Hochstein, University of Southern California, are conducting a survey of software development practices among computational scientists. This
survey seeks to understand current software development practices and identify areas of need. The survey should take approximately 15 minutes to complete.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>This survey has been approved by The University of Alabama IRB board.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>We would appreciate your participation in our survey. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact us.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>The survey is available at: <a href="https://spreadsheets.google.com/spreadsheet/viewform?hl=en_US&formkey=dEF6QXRHbGd4Wjktbk5LRUlRYWlnVVE6MQ">

<div>Thanks,</div>

<div>P.S. This is an updated version of a survey that we sent out in August of 2010. We have refined the survey based on feedback and detailed analysis. Please participate if you can as we will not be merging in the results from the old survey for this survey
and analysis.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>P.S. Sorry if you get spammed by multiple emails for this survey which will happen if you are on multiple mail lists we are sending this too.</div>
