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

IMHO not at all... using mailing list is an "old way" to manage a community. Fortunally or Unfortunally, most of community is using chat channels related with phone numbers (and/or not). I can't figure out if 33k in a ML is ten times community in IRC types channels, but for sure is a bigger

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

Hi All, I was wondering if anyone has recently attempted to estimate the size (in people) of OSGeo? I thought the easiest approach might be to see the number of people subscribed to the discuss list. I'm aware it's not going to catch everyone, but it seems reasonable as a measure of the
