Which database do you use?
Lewis Cunningham is running a survey to discover which databases people are using, and in which contexts. Lewis wanted to do an open survey, meaning not only would the results be published but all of the data behind the published results would be open, as well.
It's a noble effort. I'm not sure this blog is the best place to find a balanced demographic when it comes to open source, but presumably if he can get it published in DB2 and Oracle mailing lists, as well...?
Matt Asay brings a decade of in-the-trenches open-source business and legal experience to The Open Road, with an emphasis on emerging open-source business strategies and opportunities. Matt is vice president of business development at Alfresco, a company that develops open-source software for content management. He is a member of the CNET Blog Network and is not an employee of CNET. Disclosure. You can follow Matt on Twitter @mjasay. 
Thanks for the link and passing the survey on to your readers.
I also have this posted in the Oracle and Postgres communities and I'm working on DB2.
If anyone here is involved in any other communities and/or forums, feel free to pass it on.
Thanks again! I'll drop you a note here when the results get posted.
