Looks good, send it in!

Maybe for next time, it would be better to arrange a meeting with all the people that want to contribute with the ad's, so that we have enough time to get some drafts ready?

Also, the deadline was 2 days ago as far as i am aware of, so lets pick up the pace next time.

Thats my 2 cents.
