Less black and more graphics

'''Less black and more graphics''' is a [[Computing]] Team [[:Category:In-jokes|in-joke]], originating from the 2012 [[SRAs]].

== Origin ==

It comes from the rather terse feedback from Computing Team's 2012 Best Technical Achievement entry, [[Presenters First: A Unified Computing Experience]], which is confusingly itself an in-joke. Quoted for posterity:

<blockquote>
Subject: The Student Radio Association - Awards Feedback (URY (Best Technical Achievement) - Presenters First: A Unified Computing Experience) 
Date: 2012-12-11 15:02 
From: Student Radio Awards Judges <awards@studentradio.org.uk> 
To: matt.windsor@ury.org.uk 
 
THE STUDENT RADIO ASSOCIATION - AWARDS FEEDBACK (URY (BEST TECHNICAL ACHIEVEMENT) - PRESENTERS FIRST: A UNIFIED COMPUTING EXPERIENCE) 
 
Hi [[Matt Windsor]], 
 
Firstly, we're sorry that this feedback process has taken slightly longer than we would originally had hoped. 
 
Below you will find the feedback for 'PRESENTERS FIRST: A UNIFIED COMPUTING EXPERIENCE' that you entered into the 'BEST TECHNICAL ACHIEVEMENT' category for the Student Radio Awards 2012. Depending on the category, you may have more than one piece of feedback from different judges. To protect the judges anonymity, their names are not included. If you entered this category on behalf of someone else, please forward this on to the participants! 
 
* A well thought through [[Show Planner|playout system and broadcast work flow manager]]
* Excellent system, nice use of HTML5.
* A lot of time and effort and clearly gone in to creating this system and it does quite a few clever things. However, it slightly feels as though the system is trying to be all things to all people. Future development should perhaps focus on making the user interface more friendly ('''less black, more graphics''', standard symbolic buttons etc).
 
If you would like more information please reply to this email, where someone will get back to you. 
 
Many Thanks - The Student Radio Association Ltd 
The Student Radio Association Ltd, a company Registered in England and Wales as a Company Limited by Guarantee, No. 06419104. VAT Registration No. 919 2489 90

== Controversy ==

Much was made of the SRA judges' decree that URY's computing services would be improved by less black and more graphics. It was pointed out that less black would reduce contrast (thus making it harder to read things) and more graphics would clutter the user interfaces up (thus making it harder to read things).

The other potential issue with this observation was that URY's branding at the time was, in fact, predominantly black. This email therefore specified that we would've won the award if we changed our corporate branding - something which is of course directly under the remit of "Best Technical Achievement".

A retort was sent, but not replied to. Possibly.

== Alternative forms ==

The phrase is sometimes inverted as ''more black and less graphics'', usually to connote the idea of rebelling against the SRA ([[in all their]] ignorance).

Committees

2023-10-19T18:27:49Z

11947: Added the 2023 committee table

((ury)) has had many '''committees'''.

== 2023/24 ==

=== The Mellor committee ===

{{Committee 2023}}

With Harvey Mellor at the helm, the URY committee of 2023/24 plans to lead the Radio into a year of radio-ing fun. With the world back to pre-pandemic living, station meetings were filled with seriousness (and hilarity). Needless to say, URY has a bright future ahead of it.

This was also the year that the MediaWiki finally got some love, with major updates made by the Archives and Alumni officer, Charlotte.

== 2020/21 ==

This year, the large wave of freshers formed committee, and only 2 weeks into their reign, were shoved into new territory as the pandemic happened. They went through a whole year of not seeing each other, and never actually going into the station. They discovered a '''love''' of Zoom and Google Meets, put Alex in the waiting room, and wondered if Connor would ever turn his camera on.

== Various Committees Happened ==

== 2013/14 ==
This year, Al Riddell continued his rein as Supreme Ruler of the York Campus Airwaves, and also led the first committee bound by version 2.0 of our constitution which saw some changes to the team structure (yep - 46 years old and it's the first time we've rewritten it from scratch).

=== The Riddell committee (redeux) ===

{{Committee 2013}}

== 2012/13 ==

=== The Edwards committee ===

{{Committee 2012}}

Because of the large proportion of finalists in the original 2012/13 committee, a special by-election was held in Summer Term 2013 to replace those leaving the university forever; the result was an "interim" committee led by new Station Manager Al Riddell until the Autumn 2013 election round.

=== The Riddell committee ===

{{Committee 2012b}}

== 2011/12 ==

This year had two station managers: Rob Stonehouse, and Jennifer Rothery.

=== The Stonehouse committee ===

{{Committee 2011a}}

=== The Rothery committee ===

{{Committee 2011b}}

== 2010/11 ==

Darren Webb was Station Manager this year.

== 2009/10 ==

Oliver Julian was Station Manager this year.

== Ancient Committees ==
