Hi Andreas,

Is the brochure done? Or are you still working on the color? (I've got people I can send it to!)

Thanks!

        Hi,

        since the objection of the flyer is to reach potential
        sponsors, maybe
        we should consider telling them what benefits they'll get, not
        what
        features GNOME has.

        I had some free time today and tried to make a draft so it's
        hopefully
        easier to see what I mean. The draft should be available here:

    Oh, I just finished the layout on Friday, just need to figure out
    the best tint of green left basically. Should have let you know
    earlier.

    I'm not sure I'm a fan of the two column layout in your version.
    Feels like a lot of text, and if you give the folder to someone on
    a conference, you can't really expect them to read through the
    whole thing (or anything at all, if it seems to heavy).

        Please note the text probably contains errors, since I'm not a
        native
        English speaker. It's also not quite finished since I'm not
        up-to-date
        concerning many GNOME developments. I also had to waste some time
        redoing the layout in Scribus since I'm not used to Inkscape.
    What texts did you change exactly?
    I like the "4 reasons why you should you should join...", but
    maybe the GNOME text is a bit big and too detailed.
    I'll let other weight in on what texts they like better.

        Also, while the design is nice, I'd like to suggest to use a
        better
        format -- a double sided A3 in 4 colors, for example. With digital
        printing, it shouldn't be that expensive, anymore.
    My idea for the folded A4 format was that it would be possible to
    print it out with a regular printer for anyone who wanted. I've
    kept it to 2 color print in order to save money when printing it
    at the printer (even though we might end up doing a small amount
    of them printed digitally, so maybe it won't matter).
