Address notes from conversation with Libby

Add COVID related question, like:

"If your enterprise reevaluates budgets in light of macroeconomic conditions, how will funding of open source initiatives be viewed ?"

I like the hiring and training angle given that it was a big takeaway from last year's survey: that open source program offices are focused on developer recruitment

The hypothesis is that more business teams are "leaning in" to tech organizations' use of open source because they are open to change/see the need for it.

Do companies see open source as a way to move fast, but at the same time don't necessarily understand that you can move even faster when you're involved in the communities/ participate upstream

cool idea but what options would you like to offer here?
