[FOSS4G2016] time for some more numbers...

Sat Jun 25 09:20:42 PDT 2016

The figures as of today (June 25th):

587 registrants, from all continents (except for Antartica)
497 of them finalized their registration and thus will attend.

80% from Europe (GER, UK, DK, NOR, NL, SWE, CH) and a remarkable Estonian invasion of 17 people (which gives Estonia the award for the highest participants/inhabitants ratio)
In total more than 50 countries, of which 7 African countries.
Relative low figures from Austria (due to FOSSGIS in Salzburg?), Spain (7) and Brazil (0, probably due to the economy and the Olympics?

On the 2-months-before-the-conference mark, this sets us slightly behind the schedule of FOSS4G 2013 in Nottingham (which ended up which 797 participants), a bit ahead of Portland 2014 (which had a slow start of registrations, but ended up with 858 attendees) and on the same level as Denver 2011 and Barcelona 2010 (that ended up with 886 and 870 attendees)

Keep up the good work, then the 800-mark is within reach.

Greetings from Bonn,

Gert-Jan

Dear LOC!

Steven pointed me to the idea to share the actual numbers more often. 
So we'll do!

Today we have 493 people in the registration system of which

... are 406 really registered people
... are 68 from Germany, 29 from UK, 26 from US, ..... , 4 from Australia, 2 from New Zealand and 1 from Argentina so far ... 128 also booked a workshop ... 74 will attend on one of the Code Sprints ... 35 will attend on the B2B meeting!

promising, but ... we want more. So spread the word!

Also we can call out another sponsor:
Deutsche Bahn sponsored us with 5k € plus an amount of free train tickets. We'll have to discuss who'll get in favour of these.

Also we decided to open exhibition also for supporter sponsors from 
today on. We do not expect new crowds of sponsors, so if some of the 
supporters like, they can go ahead.

Hope to get the 95%-program out in the next days!

BTW: I wear the 1st official FOSS4G T-Shirt when opening Bonner 
Geosummer today ;-)
