Circles of Django (2007)

So here’s a question I get asked a lot: “How big is Django’s community?” Anyone who works in open source knows that it’s basically impossible to know the size of any open source community. It’s easy with commercial programs – just look at the sales numbers – but since F/OSS is freely (and widely) available, there’s almost no way to know how many people are using your project. Still, the tie-wearing enterprisy business folks ask these types of questions, and it’s useful to have an answer ready.
