One idea that just popped up.  How about a counter that we display that is
constantly increasing with the caption "Number of FLOSS/FOSS/Open Source
developers worldwide". It shows great support for our "message"...

Another could be a counter showing the current number of open source apps
currently available...  Shows community diversity

Another counter could be number number of companies/agencies currently using
open source
