I'm also curious about this survey.  I was wondering why the actual
techniques (waterfall, agile, etc.) aren't mentioned in the survey --
although maybe folks don't really know about them?

Additionally, I would be interested in the results, unfortunately I won't
be attending the conferences you mentioned.  Is it possible to get a report
back to the list once the survey ends (even just the graphs from survey
monkey would be useful)
