These metrics are really interesting.<br>
I've just provided you with write access to our previous foss4g
metrics at:<br>

Feel free to add your metrics for this year to this spreadsheet.<br>

<div><br>
</div>
<div>Thought I would share a few preliminary results from the
post-FOSS4G survey. As James says below, we'll get the data in a
better form for analysis once we close the survey. But we got
responses from 1/3 of attendees within 24 hours, which is great!</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>A few things I'd highlight:</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>67% of attendees were at their first FOSS4G</div>
<div>46% answered 5 to the question how heavily do you currently
use geospatial open source, remainder split fairly evenly
between 1-4.</div>
<div>61% were software developers as main job function, 18% end
users, 20% managers</div>
<div>Overall rating of FOSS4G was 4.31 on a scale of 1-5, which is
impressive!</div>
<div>Highest ranked function was the Wynkoop reception at 4.55.</div>
<div>Quality of presentations was ranked at 4.07.</div>
<div>72% answered 1 or 2 on how likely they are to be in Beijing,
14% answered 4 or 5.</div>
<div>57% answered 4 or 5 on attending a "local FOSS4G" if there
was one in North America next year.</div>
<div>Of various possible options proposed for future FOSS4Gs, the
one involving an annual local conference in North America was
the highest rated by some margin (though obviously a sample
skewed towards North Americans).</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>We need the more detailed spreadsheet to get scores and
comments for individual workshops, I think that will be another
important thing to look at in planning for next year.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Lots of interesting stuff in the comments too that we can use
to make future events better.</div>
<div><br>
Cheers,</div>
<div> Peter.</div>

<p class="MsoNormal">Hi Pete,</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Thought we would share the
preliminary survey results. It is still very early but,
so far, you almost have 300 (285) responses which would
be nearly 33%!!! That is a tremendous response.
Generally we get about 10-15%.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">This is just the summarized PDF
synopsis. When the survey closes we should be able to
provide you with an Excel formatted report that you can
manipulate as you please.</p>
