 * Deadline

November?

* Size requirements in pixels if applicable

As needed to fit all requisite information

* If this is a logo or icon for an application

No, it is an infographic or poster or some other digital document.

* What application is this for?

This is a request for a lay out to help explain the Logic Model for the
 Fedora Council's EDU Initiative:
 https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Objectives/University_Involvement_Initiative

* Brief description of what the application does

This digital document will be used to explain what the Objective's Logic
 Model is (what resources we have, what activities we'll do, and what
 outcomes we expect, and what goals are trying to achieve.)

* Packager or developer contact information (IRC nick + email + wiki
 profile page link)

 application icons.

Comment (by mattdm):

Thanks for helping, Mo! We could really benefit from good design here,
 because I want this to be a model for planning Fedora Objectives in
 general. (So, it'd be nice to be reusable.)

I know a lot of logic model diagrams end up being kind of foofy on the
 actions and resources side, with inputs like "the community" and actions
 like "community building". For the objectives, I'd like those to actually
 get specific. Then, this _directly_ becomes the plan with a clear budget
 built in — or a budget, with a built-in justification.

I kind of think a tree might be the right model, with the resources being
 leaf nodes at one edge, feeding into actions, feeding into outputs, and so
 on. Possibly some of the outputs criss-cross to feed into multiple
 outcomes, and then everything feeds into the glorious fulfillment of the
 mission and vision.

In my mind, this is a dynamic tree structure, starting with the impact at
 the top and with outcomes expanded; you could then drill down into the
 specifics. And below the outputs level, it would be nice to have an
 easily-edited dynamic document, as plans change and specific outputs are
 completed. Actually, it could even be a living document above that, with
 outputs checked off as they're accomplished and metrics updated (I'm not
 going to say automatically) as actual impact occurs.

(That all sounds grandiose, but one way to do that is simply a wiki page
 with nested header elements and collapsible blocks. Ugly but functional!)

Comment (by duffy):

So one concern I have about the layout of this right away are the
 relationships between resources => activities => outputs... I think they
 are going to be too complex for the current ascii art layout to represent.

E.g.:

Mentors - aren't going to go to Magazine Editorial Meetings (probably) or
 Badge Workshops, but they might go to Conferences and Fedora Activity
 Days. Do they have a relationship with POSSE? Maybe? Maybe not.

Pagure.io - is it related to classroom visits or deploying/hosting web
 resources or internships?

The Fedora Wiki - does it have anything to do with badgeathons? Not
 really? Maybe a little bit?

What I worry about with buckets of things that don't necessarily have a
 strong link feeding into each other is that it might imply a relationship
 that just isn't there or doesn't make sense.

So I'm thinking I'm going to play around with the layout a lot, as to not
 imply invalid connections or anything like that, hopefully to make this
 more readable? Does that make sense?

There needs to be a second pass on the resources<->outcomes section for
 sure. Right now it is moreso an inventory of the pieces we have at our
 disposal, not necessarily a mapping of how those resources translate into
 other things. Since planning moves from right to left, we start with the
 impacts and go across. I'm working on a version2 of the .ods file that I
 will upload shortly. Stay tuned :)

Okay cool. I'll wait for an updated ODS before mocking anything up.

[[Image(fedora-council_edu-logic-model_v1.png)]]

first attempt. it's a bit simplified - i didn't use any mappings yet. i
 did a lot of perusing of various logic models folks have published online
 and the most understandable ones seemed to follow this kind of format.

Comment:

Hey, opening this ticket up since I am going to be out for a while. Please
 feel free to pick it up. The source for what I did so far is already
 attached.

Some feedback from today's design team meeting:

- the background is a bit dark, might be nice to pop in the Fedora
 triangles texture in the back
 - the rag in the impact section where Fedora is alone on one line should
 be adjusted
