flyers for linux marketing

[Roberto -MadBob- Guido <bob4mail gmail com>]

First of all I hope this message would not be off-topic, due it is
intended to the promotion of the whole Linux landscape and not only
about Gnome.

All around the world (and particulary in Italy, from where I wrote) a
lot of Linux Users Groups daily act to organize courses, conferences,
InstallParty and many other events to explain freesoftware to the people
and provide assistance on technical stuffs. The main problem is that
LUGs are generally composed by high technically skilled guys but bad
artists, so most of those events are promoted by very low-quality flyers
which often miss to catch attention of the target public, and many
efforts fail to collect a decent audience due lack of communication.
I have recently experienced this phenomenon in occasion of the "Linux
Day" (annual country-wide event in which each LUG in Italy provides his
own schedule on the same day, this year was on October, 24:
http://www.linuxday.it ), when many groups were unable to spread to the
public more than an ugly blank sheet with some text and a Tux as only
decoration.

Starting from this, the purpose is to involve as many people as possible
with artistic eye to produce a set of nice and good-looking templates
for flyers, customizable by LUGs, share them and made it easy to promote
any kind of Linux moment with a decent presentation. No constraints
about layout, colors, images or other graphic elements, the best would
be to obtain SVG source files with fields to fill with custom text (for
location, date, schedule...), perhaps dedicated to specific genre of
contents (some to promote InstallParties, some to promote conferences
and so on).

The project is still in evaluation phase, so any kind of comment,
suggestion, and reference to other source of collaborative artists are
welcome.
What do you think about this?
