Hi, I am a graduate student from University of Houston. A couple of months ago, I posted a logo design contest with DesignOutpost and have been very pleased with the end result. This is a great community with a collection of wonderful people.

Right now, a group of us are working on a project for our Management class, Virtual Team, and in this project we need to study a company who utilizes the virtual team collaboration tools in conducting business. I think DesignOutpost is a perfect example of successful virtual team. I was wondering if I can get some information from the administrators, the designers and the members here on things like experience of virtual team, impact of online tools on the business, etc.

Please reply to this post if you can help us on this project. A brief survey will be ready and sent out to people who are willing to help.

Thank you very much for your help!

May I get some help from Designers and Contest Holders? It will not take long on the survey, we just would like to get some insights from you. We have many classmates who are IT professionals and middle managers who are taking this class in their part-time MBA program. I would love to introduce DesignOutpost to them.

Thank you for your help!

This time of year I tend to be pretty protective of my time, but if it's an online survey, I'll give it a whirl.

Thanks to liz and imageconstrux for your willingness to help! I'll send out the survey question to you on Friday morning. I promise it won't be long.

I am still looking for two more designers and two more contest holders.

In appreciation!

Thanks for all your reply to help! We really appreciate it. Now, we got the minimum number of people to ensure that we can complete this project. The more people help out filling out the survey, the more insights we get.

Let me know if anyone else is interested in.

Appreciatively,

Sean

I got the e-mail and attempted to follow the directions, but was unable to save the page. So I couldn't turn around and send it to you.

So I typed the answers in email and copied and pasted a few of the tables into an email. Hope that works!
