[Board] Re: Latest survey results from FOSS4G 2011

[Peter Batty]

Also, just so it's in the top of your inbox, here are the summary points
from the previous version with the latest numbers substituted (though as I
said, very minor change in these):

67% of attendees were at their first FOSS4G
44% answered 5 to the question how heavily do you currently use geospatial
open source, remainder split fairly evenly between 1-4.
60% were software developers as main job function, 18% end users, 22%
managers
Overall rating of FOSS4G was 4.32 on a scale of 1-5
Highest ranked function was the Wynkoop reception at 4.53.
Quality of presentations was ranked at 4.06.
72% answered 1 or 2 on how likely they are to be in Beijing, 14% answered 4
or 5.
57% answered 4 or 5 on attending a "local FOSS4G" if there was one in North
America next year.
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).
