[LGM] how large is libre graphics community

[Camille Bissuel]

Hi,

I suppose you can take several inputs ...
number of downloads for Gimp + Inkscape + Scribus + Blender + Krita + ... +
...
numbers of users in each bugtrackers...
number of people attending LGM...
number of artists claiming to use theses tools in communities like
DeviantArt...
number of paid developers...
try to reduce this sum with the number of peoples downloading or
contributing in several projects...

It's really linked to which scope you want to look at !

Have a nice week end,
Camille
