I provided the "[REPORT] Apache OpenOffice ODF in the Marketplace - AOO 4.1.1
Downloads" in response to this question. It is possible to customize those
queries in terms of calendar and also by the version of the release that the
binaries are from.
Is that good enough for the student's purposes?
Note that determining "Open Source Adoption" because the intention is to use
open-source software and to simply have free to download-and-use software are
not necessarily the same thing. It's simpler when the availability of the
source code is tied to people using it for study, QA, or some development
purpose outside the project.
In that case, downloads of the source code and the SDK might be better
indicators. SVN checkouts and Git clones might be more indicative as part of
that.
I suppose that some might think that the software being open-source is some
assurance that its availability will be sustained, and it could be chosen for
that reason as well, not just ideological ones.

PS: We have a similar problem with regard to whether adopters of the software
do so because it is ODF that is important or the ability to work acceptably
with Microsoft Office document formats is the dominant factor, whether
Microsoft Office itself is available on the same platform or not. The same can
be said for supporting WordPerfect format.
