It's already been 7 months since the end of FUDCon APAC 2014 in Beijing, China.
I took the task to make a survey report in September, and it finally comes out till today. Late, but it comes out.
The hardest part of this report for me was the processing of the original survey data. It took me many hours to finish. And then was the figures, after searched on the internet and looked up the knitr manual, I knew how to correctly show both of Chinese characters and English in generated figures.
All of these works helped me learning more of R. So it's worth to do it.
The report isn't perfect, however, for example the tables and figures don't look beautiful enough. And there must be typos and mistakes. If you find some, just tell me so I can fix them.
The single html page of the report is available at [1]. If you don't want to see it from my blog[2], you can read it there.

10. The attendees' view on Richard Stallman's speech.
There is a question on attendees' view to Richard Stallman's speech, that is, what do you think of Richard Stallman's speech? The content of the respondent's answer varys from each other. It's not a good idea to use the answers directly and make a figure. So a very simple mapping is used to simplify the answers. The answers are divided into 3 classes, that is, Positive, Neutral and Negative. The answer reflects positive view, then it is classified to Positive, while if the an answer expresses the feeling of negative, disagree or likewise, it is classified to Negative. This mapping is not perfect, even subjective, but it can reflect the attendees' view on the speech. There are 64 people answered this question. Two of these respondents didn't attend the speech, so the valid answers are 62. The mapping answers and original answers are listed below.| 你认为Richard Stallman (RMS) 的主演讲如何？ What do you think of Richard Stallman’s speech? | 票数 Vote |

| Negative | 5 |
| Neutral | 11 |

| Neutral | 我覺得講得很好、很精彩，只不過他對於 non-free software 的想法和態度比我想像中的激進很多，我比較不認同。當然我同意 free software 是比較好的發行軟體的方法。有了 free software 帶來的自由，才能使得我們可以自由修改，把軟體變成自己喜歡、想要的樣子。 |
| Positive | I strongly have respect him, not only just say something, but also do as his own life (he doesn’t use any proprietary / non-free software, services, …). I can’t do as him (e.g., I sometimes use Facebook), but his talk hit my mind. |
Conclusion
Some interesting results are concluded. For example that male attendees are much higher than female attendees. Company employees played the major role. Social network is far more useful than BBS or forum in news spread, however the traditional communication method - mailing list still has its power.
