[OSGeo-Discuss] Unique number of OSGeo mailing lists subscribers
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 http://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/VisibilityStats#Mailing_list_subscribers Markus 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.

[OSGeo-Discuss] Custom GIS App
Our company currently makes use of the city's GIS Application but then we have been tasked with business on areas outside the city's GIS boundaries which means an area targeted for development needs to have new street names and roads and other infrastructure developments I have currently installed OSGeo but I'm not sure how the relevant data is stored in a database in relation to the street name, suburb and finally the actual property that the application is based on. What I have seen OSGeo to offer is the capability to zoom into an area and choose between the different area infrastructures like railways, roads etc but I'm not quite sure how to pass parameters like a suburb name, street name to an OSGeo application. kind regards Simphiwe Twala _ Drag n’ drop—Get easy photo sharing with Windows Live™ Photos. http://www.microsoft.com/windows/windowslive/products/photos.aspx___ Discuss mailing list Discuss@lists.osgeo.org http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/discuss
Re: [OSGeo-Discuss] Unique number of OSGeo mailing lists subscribers
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? Markus Neteler wrote: Interested to know how many unique users we have in the OSGeo mailing list system...?

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).

Re: [OSGeo-Discuss] Custom GIS App
I am not sure you are sending this email to the correct list; OSGeo is a foundation dedicated to open source geospatial software. Are you using a specific piece of software?

Re: [OSGeo-Discuss] Custom GIS App
Hi, What I have seen OSGeo to offer is the capability to zoom into an area and. 1. Pl visit OSGeo website to understand how we function, and the plethora of software supported by OSGeo. choose between the different area infrastructures like railways, roads etc but I'm not quite sure how to pass parameters like a suburb name, street name to an OSGeo application. 2. This is achieved by many a Open GIS Ex: GRASS, OpenJUMP etc.. 3. If you are using Microsoft Operating System (XP, Vista), I suggest for a quick learning curve, try OpenJUMP which you can download from Openjump.org.
