I think this is a very, very good time to do this. I am all for it.

For sure there are those questions I would like to add:

Airflow deployment:

* which version of Airflow you use in production
* which version of Airflow you use in staging/dev
* what is the database you are using as the metadata DB of Airflow
* which is the Metadata DB version you use
* what executor do you use
* which is the queue you are using in case you use Celery Executor
[rabbitmq/redis/other]
* are you using [ on-premise/ cloud (which) / as a service (which)]
deployment
* what's the deployment strategy you use ([Kubernetes/Bare Metal/ Virtual
Machines/Docker Compose/ other]
* what is the DAG distribution you use [Git Sync, NFS, EFS/GCS Fuse/Don't
know/Other/ ....]

Airflow migration:

* do you consider migrating to Airflow 2.0 as soon as it is out? If not why
* what is your foreseen timeline of migration for Airflow 2.0 after it is
is out
* what is the biggest obstacle you see for the migration to Airflow 2.0
* which are the features of Airflow 2.0 you are most excited about : [LIST
OF FEATURES HERE - multiple choice]
* tell us why are you excited about those
* are there any features you wanted that did not make it to Airflow 2.0?
Tell us why you need them.
* what is the size of your company (5-6 buckets here)
* how many people in your company use airflow (3-4 buckets here)

Community / Contribution:

* are you and your team actively participating in Airflow development -
contributions
* if yes what do you like/don't like about the process
* if no - why not?
* do you have your own Airflow customizations to Airflow that you would
like to contribute? What are those and what stops you from doing so?

Airflow Summit/Documentation:

* have you attended the Airflow Summit 2020?
* what kind of talks you would like to see at the Airflow Summit 2021? [
some areas I can add + some free choice]
* what is your source of information about Airflow multiple choice [Airflow
Website/Read the docs/Airflow's Github docs/Github Issues/Airflow's
slack/Airflow Summit Videos/Awesome Apache Airflow/Stack Overflow/Google/
Other: free form]*

Competition:

* did you consider/try other workflow engines? Which ones?
* did you/do you consider moving to those other workflow engines? If so,
what's missing in Airflow that you can get from those other engines?
