[ih] Quantifying OSI

[Carl Malamud]

Hi -

I’m trying to quantify the size of the OSI efforts. I’ve seen the 25
million ECU investment by the EU, and have some pointers to US government
efforts. Has anybody tried to collect these numbers?

Also very interested in non-monetary indicators. I have easy access to
number of IETF participants and count the traffic on mailing lists. Any
similar metrics for OSI? The best indicator so far is “many fine lunches
and dinners” but surely there has to be something more scientific.

With best regards,

Carl
