I'd agree that this has to be one of the poorest 'infographics' I've seen (and that in general, if it's mostly just some numbers in a big font, it's not really an infographic at all). That's not to say GNOME couldn't do a decent one, though. -- CALUM BENSONInteraction Designer +353 1 803 3807 Systems Experience Design http://blogs.oracle.com/calum Oracle EMEA Ltd., Ireland -- marketing-list mailing list marketing-list@gnome.org https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/marketing-list

No, more accessible, because it looks nicer and is more enjoyable to look at. I'm up for putting something nice together if I get more numbers. - Andreas -- marketing-list mailing list marketing-list@gnome.org https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/marketing-list

AFAIK, SVG is potentially accesible [1], though I don't know how well browsers will expose the info to orca and other screenreaders. We also can link it to a page that include all the data from the graphics in a text format. The graphic is just a means to offer the data in a more attractive way than raw data.

Not necessarily for the graphics (although I do like them), but more for the fact that some more material is produced that helps advertising GNOME. Do you have ambitions in undertaking such a thing?

GNOME infographics
Hi there ! I've recently read about a post about how the Mozilla project did this year. It has a nice infographic work and I think we can do something similar for GNOME news in december. Do we have data for doing a similar ? https://blog.mozilla.org/blog/2012/12/14/mozilla-in-2012/ Some data by now: * 2 major releases (GNOME 3.4 and 3.8) * 4 big GNOME conferences (GUADEC, GNOME Asia, Boston Summit and Día GNOME) * Presence in many FLOSS Conferences * 9 hackfests (https://live.gnome.org/Hackfests/ Not sure if we must count all of them) Other project, Libreoffice, always adds an Infographic picture in every release. I wonder if it is a good idea to do this in our releases. http://blog.documentfoundation.org/2012/10/04/the-document-foundation-announces-libreoffice-3-6-2/ Cheers, -- Juanjo Marin -- marketing-list mailing list marketing-list@gnome.org https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/marketing-list
