Hi pgsql-advocacy,
Imho the Document Foundation is doing a pretty good PR job. In
particular, they're providing some simple yet very informative
infographics. Here's their last update :
http://blog.documentfoundation.org/2012/07/17/libreoffice-infographics/
While this kind of numbers may not interest everyone, it shows very
clearly the dynamic and the growth of a project. And in our case, the
vitality and liveliness of the PostgreSQL Community is a great strength
that we need to advertise more.
I'm interested help building such infographics for the PostgreSQL
project but I believe this should be a collective work, with a long term
perspective. The numbers are not that hard to gather (pages hits on the
website ? , mail traffic on pgsql-hackers ? git stats ?) and we can find
even more stats from services like ohloh
(http://www.ohloh.net/p/postgres)... But I think the hard part will
keeping the numbers up-to-date and release a new version on a regular
basis (maybe once every semester ?)
Is anyone else interested by creating this infographic ?
