If I had to do it again I would have asked "Does your company embrace a remote work culture?" That's more what I was looking for. Oh well. It was still interesting to talk to 45 different companies and get their take on it.

I did ask a few details about how they accommodated remote work (most had teams on IRC, Slack, or Hipchat and only one said they used Jabber) but I didn't standardize as much so I didn't write down all that data. I only had about 2 hours to collect all this so I had to make some sacrifices somewhere. As it was I missed a couple of companies that folded their tables up before I could get to them.

Perhaps you don't need to make the process completely manual.

You could collect the data through some hosted form from all the companies at the same time.

Or recruit a few people to help.
I would volunteer to help out at next year's Pycon in Mtl if you're planning to do produce a similar survey
