Hello All!
We currently work on a openSUSE PR-Kit which will contain a standard project flyer. The flyer give some basic informations about the openSUSE Project etc.
The final flyer will be a roll folded DIN A4. So the flyer has 6 pages. You get the current setting copy at here:

If you find some typos or have a great idea for improvement please send me feedback and explain briefly your idea so others can follow up :-)
First of all, it looks very pretty. Me likes that.
Second, and I'm probably way too late offering my input here, but I think it is REALLY way too wordy. Too much text, too small.
Believe it or not, you're actually not late. Either this is the first we've heard of this on the team or I missed some previous discussion on this (always possible.) I do like this, and I agree that in a broad sense, it's too wordy. However, that doesn't mean it shouldn't be used. Instead, I think it has a specific use, especially for those already familiar with FOSS and Community. We should create several flyers that appeal to different audiences. A less wordy/more picturesque flyer will appeal more to an audience of new users/market, as an example. This is, however, a great basis for a collection of flyers that we should work toward.

I have to send the setting copy to the print house next Wednesday (2010-08-04). After that we can only work for the future.
Have you seen these:

Much shorter for sure, bigger text.
I'm more than willing to help prune the texts, if you want, you can send them to me, tell me to eg remove 50% and I'll rewrite it into a half as big text. I'm guessing this is both urgent and important so I'm willing to spend some sleep time on it ;-)
I hope u work with scribus and share the sources, so I can help u.
