[Marketing] Re: [OSGeo-Discuss] Unique number of OSGeo mailing lists subscribers

Cameron, all,
(cc'ing Marketing for info)

My part is already script'ed, so I can make it a monthly cronjob,
emailing out results (or loading up to a dedicated directory).
Let me know,

Markus

Markus,
These sorts of statistics are gold for marketing OSGeo to potential
sponsors. (I base this upon my recent experience chasing FOSS4G sponsors).

I'd love to see these metrics collected monthly, and piped into a table of
some sort, then built into a graph.

We could then start see how the number of users in projects increases over
time.

Does anyone have ideas about how this could be set up?

Interested to know how many unique users we have in the OSGeo
mailing list system...? Here we are:

02_May_2009: 9791

So we'll possibly hit 10.000 later this year! For now added to

PS: I would be happy to (auto-)post these numbers to an
OSGeo marketing member as we should work out some more
concrete stats for our sponsors. Similar to
