I think this is a better link, listing Apache CloudStack:

I think he's missing a lot of discussions that don't happen on
openstack.org. domains, like the discussions on meetup.com, google
groups, G+, Facebook group, etc. Some of these stats we don't track
either (yet), but we're pushing forward an effort to consolidate these
sources and give users a better/easiest way to find peers. For example,
we now host mailing lists in non-english languages on
lists.openstack.org (at the moment Vietnamese, Italian and Spanish) and
we're starting a project for a user group portal that will aggregate
things from meetup.com.

That's the least solid part of his report. Ohloh does a better job, even
if the way OpenStack uses git and github makes numbers less comparable
across projects. The lack of source code for the git analysis on ohloh
and john's report makes both of them less of a 'reliable source' for
quote to me.
