Data visualizations wanted for my talk:
https://shaneslides.com/fossbackstage/WhoFundsFOSSFoundations-FOSSBackstage2024.html#1 for a live talk
Nick has the spreadsheet of data.
Important concepts to show the audience
- Comparison of relative c3 finances
- Nice graphs showing annual revenue and total assets for past 5 years for each (one slide at a time)
- Apache software foundation
- NumFocus
- Software Freedom Conservancy
- Mozilla Foundation
- Also want to show the averages for all c3s of average revenue, and average assets across 5 years
- Totals for all c3s
- Totals for all c3s excluding the outliers: Wikimedia Foundation, Mozilla Foundation (both of which are financial and organizational outliers)
- Nice graphs showing annual revenue and total assets for past 5 years for each (one slide at a time)
- Comparisons of Total Revenues over 5 years, log scale (compressed); then same graph again, but normal scale (shows Linux foundation as far outlier)
- Apache Software Foundation
- NumFocus
- Software Freedom Conservancy
- Linux Foundation
- Set of bubble charts, building up a story of revenue and asset disparities for most recent year
- Bubble showing average c3 organization funds in USD: avg assets: 6M USD, avg revenue 3.5M
- Add a bubble showing just Mozilla Foundation assets: 75M and revenue: 30M
- Add a bubble showing just Wikimedia Foundation assets: 231M and revenue: 158M
- Add a bubble showing totals for all c3s minus outliers (Wikimedia, Mozilla, EFF): assets: 76M revenue: 80M
In a different color/column, show c6 asset levels:
- top 7 c6 organizations, not including LF: assets: 15M, revenue: 24M
