FreeBSD user statistics

2007-07-31 Thread Chad Perrin 
Are there any projects out there collecting data on numbers of FreeBSD
users?  I'm interested in pretty much anything along those lines,
including analogs to Fedora's "smolt" reporting software, the Linux
Counter , and so on.

If not . . . is there any sense that such a project would be useful to
the community?  I might consider getting at least a web-based
self-reporting thing like the Linux Counter project set up, if that seems
like something the community would want/need and doesn't already exist.

What I'm really looking for, though, is any existing efforts to count
FreeBSD users, even if such efforts are prone to error.

Hi Chad,

Checkout www.bsdstats.org. A very cool project to start tracking BSD usage. 
Also, we've placed Google Analytics on www.pcbsd.org (and we should probably 
add it to freebsd.org, too) and have interesting operating system stats from 
there that we'll make public after a substantial amount of data is gathered.

best,
-matt

Chad,

Check out http://www.bsdstats.org/ also in ports/sysutils/bsdstats.

So Australia has the highest number of BSD installations, that's quite
surprising!

Hi Chad,

That would be BSDstats:

Ahh, I see... so there are currently no way to see all time?

Stil very surprising though, when it comes to technology Australia
just never make it to the top in any statistics, people are always
like "WTF?" when I talk about BSD, till the minute I go and say it is

IIRC, that's due to a large number of systems managed by one person  
or group, that are also set up to report to bsdstats.

No offense, but as bsdstats is not installed by default, it means that
Australia has the highest number of _bsdstat_ installations.

Well, we've only had Google Analytics on PC-BSD.org for less than 1 month. I'm 
sure there's some kind of API or other mechanism to dump the report to the 
web, I just haven't looked to hard at it, yet ;-)

The PC-BSD folks have it installed by default, which is why they hold the 
higest spot for the US, and are fast approaching FreeBSD overall ...

Someone was looking at adding install/activate bsdstats to sysinstall for new 
installations, but don't think it went anywhere past the talking stage ...

Highest number of *reported* installations ... god, if there are only 10k BSD 
installations out there, we are doing something seriously wrong ...

Number of reporting systems for the past 6 months, though:
