does this kind of poster would make sense ?

Thank you, that looks good but it’s not what I had in mind.

I meant a poster _about_ ConTeXt, not only made with our toolset (I have a stack of books for that). Maybe something about typography.

Here’s how the DANTE booth at FrOSCon 2023 looked like:

(The “mindmap” diagram on the left shows projects supported by DANTE, in the middle a drawing by Duane Bibby, on the right a Tux with its TikZ source code in the back.)
We also had posters that show the architecture of TeX/LaTeX, but they were seriously outdated.

Some elements that might fit:
– some example code (like from Mikael’s BachoTeX presentation)
– anatomy of a word and a formula (with all those little boxes and measures), maybe also in Arabic
– dodo & cow drawings from Mikael’s math manual
– overview of layout areas (I re-made Sietse’s drawing from the wiki for my book)
- workflow diagrams
– parts of LuaMetaTeX
– artwork by Eçir Baff (art-aleatoire.com)
– Hans’ recent christmas card / memory game artwork

But I don’t want just a wild collection of stuff, there should be something connecting them. It should be interesting to look at as well as basic information about ConTeXt.

The suite ConTeXt/Metafun is so powerful, and can do so much different things, as already mentioned, that it can be difficult to present it in a coherent way. Perhaps this angle is that Context is a real Swiss Army knife: not only can it do lots of different things, it can do them very very well! 
You can take (and or I can provide in PDF of) any artwork from art-aleatoire.com, and if you wish/need I can contribute to an « art » part ! 

Fabrice.
