Hi John

It seems very broad - multi country, multi-institution, so would be keen to know how it can benefit help our specific situation before diving into the survey?

Cheers

Hi Andrew, good question. 

If there's enough Australian input, the results might give us insight into specific challenges faced by QGIS/open source GIS users in Aus institutions.

Maybe we'd get more direct value from a locally developed survey, but presumably some of our local challenges are also happening in other countries, so maybe worthwhile participating in the international survey for a broader perspective.

Up to you of course :)

Cheers

John
