Hi

I'm Mohsen, a PhD student working with Prof. Ralph Johnson at the University of 
Illinois at Urbana-Champaign (UIUC). Together with my team mates [1], we are doing 
a research study to better understand how developers interact with the Eclipse IDE 
for evolving and maintaining their code. We are extending this invitation to expert 
open source developers like you and would greatly appreciate and value your 
participation and help in our research study.

To participate you should be at least 18 years old and use the Eclipse IDE for Java 
development. As a participant, we ask that you complete a short survey and install 
our Eclipse plug-in called CodingSpectator [2].

CodingSpectator monitors programming interactions non-intrusively in the background 
and periodically uploads it to a secure server at UIUC. To get a representative 
perspective of how you interact with Eclipse, we would appreciate if you could install 
CodingSpectator for two months. Rest assured that we are taking the utmost 
measures to protect your privacy and confidentiality.

If you are interested, you may sign up at 
<http://codingspectator.cs.illinois.edu/ConsentForm>, which contains our consent 
form with all the details and procedures of our research study.

Your participation will help us greatly as we try to better understand how developers 
interact with their IDE's so we can propose improvements which fit better with their 
mindsets.

Thanks in advance for your time! Please do not hesitate to contact me 
(mvakili2@illinois.edu) if you have any questions or comments. More information can 
also be found at our FAQ [3]. Feel free to forward this invitation to anyone who might 
be interested in participating in this study.
