It is. Infographics are cool, portable, and popular. Seeing as FSFE has no shortage of complex issues we struggle to communicate, perhaps we could try using some in future? One for secure boot could have a big impact - this is something that has a lot of interest, but little widespread understanding.
So, how best to go about it?
Creating such infographics is pretty hard. EFF apparently worked with a design studio for theirs. That's probably expensive, and even though it may improve communications, I'll take some convincing to believe that this is the best use of our resources.
Infographics aside, I'm interested to see that when you click "Take action" you're taken to a separate website run by a separate profit making company called Salsa Labs. The page looks like you're still on eff.org, but in reality you're using the Java-based Salsa CRM platform.
It looks like EFF are making extensive use of this Software as a Service for their campaigns now. It looks like they use Salsa much like we will shortly soon be using CiviCRM. Strange that EFF are happy for all their supporters' details to be managed by a 3rd party for-profit company though...
I hadn't noticed that. Pity. :-(
