<p>I feel there is a treasure trove of insights into the workings of
open source communities within our email lists.</p>
<p>What sort of conversations lead to successful communities? What
causes communities to die off?</p>
<p>We have over a decade of archived conversations to draw upon. Any
budding researchers out there looking for a really interesting
topic?<br>

<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">

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>
<br>
