Just a small note: Chile is the correct name of mencioned "Chilli".<br><br>Nice research.<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Sun, Aug 16, 2009 at 5:42 PM, Cameron Shorter <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:cameron.shorter@gmail.com">cameron.shorter@gmail.com</a>></span> wrote:<br>
<blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;">Yves Jacolin has sliced FOSS4G <<a href="http://2009.foss4g.org/" target="_blank">http://2009.foss4g.org/</a>> website hits to determine the number of FOSS4G attendees per million people, broken down by country. From this, you can get a feeling for the most OSGeo tolerant populations in the world (distorted around Australia due to the conference location).<br>
<br>
So what can we learn?<br>
<br>
* Japan and Mongolia are the place be in Asia<br>
* Chilli is the place to be in Latin America<br>
* Canada looks preferable to the US. I wonder how much the Canadian<br>
GeoConnections program is responsible for Canada's strong OSGeo<br>
industry.<br>
* There is a lot of interest across Europe, so FOSS4G 2010 should be<br>
a crowded event.<br>
* Africa seems to have learned all they need to know when FOSS4G<br>
attended Johannesburg last year, and won't be heading to Australia<br>
in force.<br>
