<div dir="ltr">IMHO not at all... using mailing list is an "old way" to manage a community. Fortunally or Unfortunally, most of community is using chat channels related with phone numbers (and/or not). I can't figure out if 33k in a ML is ten times community in IRC types channels, but for sure is a bigger community.<br clear="all"><div><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_signature" data-smartmail="gmail_signature"><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div><br></div><div>Luigi Pirelli<br><br>**************************************************************************************************<br>* LinkedIn: <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/luigipirelli" target="_blank">https://www.linkedin.com/in/luigipirelli</a><br>* Stackexchange: <a href="http://gis.stackexchange.com/users/19667/luigi-pirelli" target="_blank">http://gis.stackexchange.com/users/19667/luigi-pirelli</a><br>* GitHub: <a href="https://github.com/luipir" target="_blank">https://github.com/luipir</a><br>* Book: <a href="https://www.packtpub.com/eu/application-development/mastering-geospatial-development-qgis-3x-third-edition" target="_blank">Mastering QGIS3 - 3rd Edition</a></div><div>* Hire a team: <a href="http://www.qcooperative.net" target="_blank">http://www.qcooperative.net</a><br>**************************************************************************************************</div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div><br></div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Fri, 6 Sep 2019 at 17:33, Jo Cook <<a href="mailto:jocook@astuntechnology.com">jocook@astuntechnology.com</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex">Hi All,<br>
<br>
Thanks for the responses- I was looking for a very loose figure for<br>
the community as a whole, so for my purposes the 33K unique<br>
subscribers to the mailing lists works well. The graphs of charter<br>
members per country from the OSGeo AGM slides are also really helpful.<br>
(Thanks Jorge Sanz).<br>
<br>
(FYI I'm not doing science with these figures, it's just some factoids<br>
for the purposes of a talk I'll be giving soon)<br>
<br>
Best<br>
