[OSGeo-Edu] Fwd: [OSGeo-Discuss] A few survey stats

[Tyler Mitchell]

I arranged for a room to be  reserved for the meeting at the same venue as the code sprint too!  Let me know if we'll need more stuff from the venue or facilities, but it sounds like an ideal place!

These are aggregates of "least important, low importance" vs "fairly, very, most important".  "Marginal importance" was ignored for this graph.  Note the larger the gap between the red and blue lines on an axis shows a greater difference in voting preference.  The two rings represent 50% and 100% of votes.
