It's hard to say. About 1e3 people are participating in the online
discussion forums. About 7e4 seem to have enrolled for the course, but
there were two streams, and only people on the advanced stream have
committed to submitting assignments.

My estimate is around 5e3 people are actively using Octave right now
for the very first time.
