Starting in 2005, the WaikatoLinuxUsersGroup held an annual pre-AGM survey, to solicit the mood of its members.
The winner of the prize draw for a $100 DickSmith Electronics voucher was Jon Purvis.
We've held our annual survey every year after 2005, except for any of those years.
Are names recorded?. If yes that may make people uncomfortable with being completely honest, which is really the point.
I'm happy for the survey to be anonymous, if that makes people happier to answer it.
Would it be possible to install 
http://www.limesurvey.org/ (or similar software, wiki plugin perhaps?) and conduct the survey online? I'd greatly prefer this to using a site such as surveymonkey. -- zcat
