I think it is not easy to get this number, there are only ways to
estimate it:

* number of downloads of packages from the PostGIS servers
(this does exclude users that got it via other means, e. G. their distro
or the PostgreSQL windows installer, as well as downloads that were
cached by proxies).

* number of mailing list subscribers
(this does not catch users that don't subscribe to the list).

You can only hope that some subscribers of this list are Brazilian and
will reply.


HTH,
Markus
