[OSGeo-Discuss] Assessing the impact of Large Language Models on Geospatial Open Source Software

[Even Rouault]

Hi Jeroen,

Thanks for that initiative! Any chance you can share the questions 
before the survey is open for filling ? (not sure who has been involved 
in its preparation. I haven't seen any public discussion on it)

(small nit: I assume you meant the "survey shall be open *from* the 10th 
of May)
