User Group head-count. (May 1998)

PDM offers a head count of attendees at the various user group meetings as a rough and ready measure of the popularity of the different technologies.

Geoshare, POSC and PPDM are to a limited extent complementary technologies, but they are mainly competing ways of achieving interoperability. Each one has its own different data model for a start. To have three user meetings in the same place in the same week allowed us a rough and ready way measure of the relative popularity of the technologies. The scorecard is as follows

Meeting	Attendees
Geoshare AGM	35
POSC Houston member	~50
PPDM Houston member	~50

This actually reflects unfairly on Geoshare, which mustered some 200 attendees via their sponsorship of the PNEC conference. There is anyhow, no real front runner in this race!
