Create an info graphic to help new users figure out how to best engage with Backdrop CMS community #15

There are too many contact points with the Backdrop CMS community. Can we figure out how to make a simple infographic that helps communicate the most common channels of communication and how to access them.

Maybe it can't be done in a infographic, but then at least a blog post or article on Backdrop CMS org that can be reference from Gitter and the forum.

I think that every page in the forum should have a block with some quick tips for engaging with Backdrop CMS community.

Comment in Gitter today from someone who recently began engaging with the BD community:

So while having multiple options to find a support community is great, too many without a map can be daunting. Being invited to fill up the forum—yup, get that entirely, as a lot of my work offline is making sure that the community site I'm building will also avoid the ghost town effect.

Here is a pretty awful first draft. Maybe it inspires someone to do something better.

I wonder if a graphic is the way to go... Much on this mockup would benefit from being clickable whereas infographics tend not to be. While it is possible to add links to shapes in SVG files I'm not sure how good it would look, and may well be less usable on small devices.

Perhaps what is needed is a stylized responsive dashboard incorporating some blocks (left hand side) and views (right hand side); have logos of providers to give a good visual appeal.

As an aside, I'm not sure why events.b is shown with an arrow to forums.b. Is there a feed of something?
