create and run annual (?) OTel contributor survey
Related to #370, I'd like us to create a survey for all OTel contributors. I have been looking at some prior art in the k8s world (e.g., https://github.com/kubernetes/community/issues/3969 and https://github.com/kubernetes/community/blob/master/sig-contributor-experience/surveys/2019/contribex-survey-2019.md) and will get started by:
- Assigning this to myself :)
- Drafting questions for said survey
- Drafting a basic process for said survey (perhaps including something about incentives / raffles / etc)
I'd like to close this issue by Sept 18 which should give plenty of time for feedback.
Re the original message here: this issue will not be closed by Sept 18 (today) since it's been coupled to the annual election process in order to minimize the number of surveys/polls we need to nag about. :)
I wonder if we want to entertain an idea of requiring filling up the survey for voting eligibility?
@SergeyKanzhelev I was just thinking that we somehow tie it to the ballot-submission process itself (method TBD)... it should only take a minute.

Last time we were using CIVS web site. Same as k8s using. It only allows voting without additional questions submission. Other tools might be fine I guess. If we want some contributors survey combined with the voting, we can entertain this idea here: https://github.com/kubernetes/community/issues/5096 - k8s will be building a new voting experience this year.
opinion, here, not strongly held: I believe that survey can cover bigger population than just eligible voters list. Eligible voters are quite engaged already. Also survey can be complete without the need to give us an e-mail (we need e-mail to guarantee a single ballot per eligible voter). So not sure it is the best idea to combine specifically this survey with the voting.
