I don’t know how many users we have; especially the number of desktop users seem to be very low (are there more than 50?).
What is the source of this estimate? I did not know that we were supposed to register our systems somewhere. Is there a central registration portal for Illumos-based systems?
There might be more users for the server oriented distributions but compared to the numbers of BSDs or even Linux the number is for sure marginal.
What constitutes a server 'user'?What percentage of Ubuntu Linux users donate money to the Ubuntu project? Do you have a ready-made statistic for that?
So the question is: how can we change the situation?
Perhaps working on useful code to fill perceived gaps rather than engaging in debate is the solution.
