Community Needs Assessment

=Introduction=

We are recruiting a world-class development team to take the project to the next level. To assist in this task, we are starting with a brief feedback survey on the project for all stakeholders to fill out. Please take a few minutes to fill out this survey, and pass it on to others who are familiar with or who may be interested in the project. This will go into a Google database, visible to the public, and will be evaluated by OSE leadership to identify actionable items and to recruit talent. We increased transparency can help participants to organize and learn from one another. Please take a few minutes to fill out this survey.
