Started a separate thread. :-) Maybe we should do this on the wiki as
well?
Not sure what kind of data we have available, but things that might be
interesting:
# of packages in Fedora from FC1 - F20
# of contributors over time
Size of "minimal" install over time?
# of languages supported in FC1 - F20?
# of release names that are as nifty as "Beefy Miracle"
Yes, I agree - though some of these may be hard to obtain or have changed over time with
regards to the collection methodology (# of contributors is a good example; the move from
the CLA to the FPCA essentially was a reset on the contributor-counter).
Other things:
* Number of different spins created
* Number of unique IP connections
* Number of OLPC XO's shipped with Fedora
* Shortest / longest development cycle
* Number of FUDCons, Where FUDCons have been
* Number of acceptable licenses
* Number of continents on which Fedora is used and/or developed (Because Jef Spaleta is
awesome and makes Antarctica happen)
* Number of Fedora Ambassadors
* Number of people who have been on the Board, FESCo, FAmSCo
Anyone else have ideas?
Infographics can be fun, when done right; making a comprehensive list of data points
available is the place to start, and then we can see about how to turn those points into
something that tells a story or makes a meaningful point and then figure out how to make
that work visually, rather than putting lots of charts into one large picture and hoping
it says something.
And yes - having a wiki page would be a good idea. So here it is:
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/AnniversaryInfographic
If you do have ideas on data points (or even the actual data to go with it!) - feel free
to share and discuss on list, but it's super helpful to also have them in the wiki
page as well.
