I feel there is a treasure trove of insights into the workings of open source communities within our email lists. What sort of conversations lead to successful communities? What causes communities to die off? We have over a decade of archived conversations to draw upon. Any budding

Hi All, Thanks for the responses- I was looking for a very loose figure for the community as a whole, so for my purposes the 33K unique subscribers to the mailing lists works well. The graphs of charter members per country from the OSGeo AGM slides are also really helpful. (Thanks Jorge Sanz).

All, Related to counting of OSGeo community . . . I brought this idea up way back when, but it was thought that it was too much effort to realize at the time. Should there be some thought put into setting up a real membership status for folks, in whatever form, where they recieve an

If you check out the yearly AGM slides you can see estimates from a range of sources (OSGeo userid, wiki logins, charter members, etc...). There are a lot of great folks in the local chapters that are missed in this tally, I really hope the 2019 elections can nominate more of these individuals
