For some reason when I thought of the print idea I said why not try
to make a draft on Scribus?
the text is much too long for a flyer, and a flyer can fall in hands of computer illiterate, that needs at least some words to understand it's not for them :-)
When writing an online text, one is at least sure somebody read it through a computer :-) - writing this I just notice that some TV are now able to browse the web, but it's not yet so frequent we have to worry :-)
Sorry if I don't participate more, but I'm not at home

I am afraid JDD is right, this is too much text for a 2-page flyer. It just doesn't work... I do like the idea of a very newbie-friendly flyer but it should be much, much shorter. I am afraid all of linux, operating systems and free software AND openSUSE just doesn't fit on one flyer :D BTW the folders here: http://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:Marketing_materials#Folders_and_leaflets aren't finished yet, maybe we can put a bit more effort here - they target the 90% of the people we see at conferences we visit all the time ;-) The text we wrote for newbies is great for our webpage, let's keep it at that for now. How often do you meet people who don't know what an operating system is at a conference?
