DR D1Rs, just a quick report on the activity of http://popcon.devuan.org six weeks after it was put online.
At the moment, it seems like we have just below 1300 active submissions, and the number increases on average by about 20/30 new submissions per day. If we consider that the popularity contest is *disabled* by default, and that it is normally not enabled by admins on server installations, then we can probably assume that those 1300 units represent between 5% and 20% of the overall number of Devuan installations, which would correspond to an estimate between 6K-25K Devuan machines in total. To put things in perspective: 1) the current popcon numbers for Debian (jessie + stretch) are in the region of 150K, so a first rough conclusion is that Devuan has about 1% of the use-base of Debian. 2) The total Debian user-base has remained almost stable in the last four years. To grow at the same pace of Devuan, Debian should count something like 2K-3K new installations per day, which would be about one order of magnitude larger than the observed growth in Debian popcon. In conclusion: these numbers have overall little significance _per_se_. As with any statistics, we can speculate over them as much or little as we want, but they clearly suggest that the Devuan community is growing at a steady pace. This is yet another reason why Devuan cannot afford to fail ;) My2Cents KatolaZ -- [ ~.,_ Enzo Nicosia aka KatolaZ - GLUGCT -- Freaknet Medialab ] [ "+. katolaz [at] freaknet.org --- katolaz [at] yahoo.it ] [ @) http://kalos.mine.nu --- Devuan GNU + Linux User ] [ @@) http://maths.qmul.ac.uk/~vnicosia -- GPG: 0B5F062F ] [ (@@@) Twitter: @KatolaZ - skype: katolaz -- github: KatolaZ ]
