DataKind survey

• Context: Over the course of the past year, Devin was asked many times for more information about our stakeholders. In order to start getting in the habit of getting feedback, Devin reached out to a nonprofit that does data science, DataKind.
• We are planning three surveys to start. We decided on surveying the college-age contributor cohort first, partly because Devin thinks that's the easiest for us to do logistically at this time.

• Devin will send the survey by email to sugar-devel and our newsletter list, as well as post on Matrix
